CLK 63 AMG from racewaynews

In the CLK 63 AMG Coupé and Cabriolet models too, which are likewise making their world debut in Geneva, the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine creates an awesome driving experience. The CLK 63 AMG produces more power and torque – 354 kW/481 hp and 630 Newton metres – than any other vehicle in this class. The new AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC transmission complements it perfectly, helping to ensure dynamic power delivery.The new AMG sports suspension, new 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels and luxurious and dynamic standard appointments add to the exclusive and sporty theme of the CLK family.

How many times Do I have to say that the CLK new Generation will come out first in 2008 . The convertible will follow one year later.

My word is **** final. 2008 it is. In the **** U.S.A the car will even come out one year later.

Everybody got that!!!!

I only say this because I can't imagine Mercedes letting the CLK out perform their flagship cars like the E or the CLS, and those run 4.5 sec now.........Unless the E63 and CLS63 0-60 times move to 4.0 sec or less and then the CLK63 moves into their old spots at 4.5 sec. That would be great!


Any thoughts on this logic? Does my logic suck? It usually does.
Logically speaking,

CLK>C
CLK=E --> same class
CLS>CLK&E
SL>CLS
SL=CL

SL63 and CL63 gets the full power output of the 63 i.e. over 500hp
SL63 BiTurbo gets a power boost of the 63 i.e. over 600hp
CLS63 gets the full power output of the 63 i.e. over 500hp
E63 gets detuned to 482hp to compete with M5's 500+hp
CLK63 gets detuned to 482hp to compete with M6's 500+hp
C63 gets detuned to 420hp to compete with 4-door sedan M3 E90 V8
CLE63 gets detuned to 420hp to compete with 2-door coupe M3 E90 V8
SLK55 initially remains as 362hp 5.5L to compete with Z4m coupe 340hp L6
SLK63 gets detuned to 420hp to compete with with Z4m coupe 420hp V8

I support this. The generation life-time of E and CLK are the same i.e. since 2002 . Now is only in their "mid-life". New generation of E and CLK will be 6 years, so 2008 is a fair guess.
