CLK 63 on the site.. impressive

www.merecedes-amg.com go to see all models on the lower right!

red line max 7200 , 0-100km in 4.6 , F1 paddle gear shifts instead of the buttons.. ABC suspension... it will be a great car , we'll see the new M3 E90(92) how will it perform and looks like..

The big question is what did they do to bump it down to 480.....hopefully nothing a little exhaust/ECU can't fix. We'll see!!

Correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am), but under the technical section - engine specs, it says that the engine has 3 valves per cylinder...I thought this new engine had 4. Also, it says next to mixture formation: supercharged. This is a n/a engine, right?

may be US and EU versions will be different... I don't see any reason though... or may be they confused what you asked with the new SL63. It's going to have 517hp I think...

I don't think you are looking at the right car.....you are probably looking at the CLS55.
Go to the CLK63. It says 4 valves per cylinder.

I was going to ask the same question when i saw it now! it does say 3 valves per cylinder and supercharged, but the displacement is 6208 and max rev is 7200.... so it must be type error...

here's the site screenshot


and i thought the clk have quad pipe...

You are looking at the cab.....go to the coupe. I'm almost positive the coupe says 4 valves.

Just throwing this out there......


I was really looking at the CLK63, both Coupe and Cab, on the AMG website. Both cars have back ends that look jacked up. They look like they need lowering desperately. This scares me because I figured they would've been pretty low already in Europe Spec. Anyone else see this? Too much wheel gap in the back. Front end isn't too bad.

Does anyone know?

How I can find out if the CLk 63 can be ordered with the F1 CLK Safety Car wider body panels? MB has to make this available to the public! BMW would!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. Seems exaggerated in the back. Almost like they raised it up on purpose to give it a dragster type look.
