A friend of my wifes told her that MB is putting out a CLK63 BS in 2010 with the V12 thats supposed to out do the SLR. Anyone heard anything of this?

C43AMG

Wow , that's news.Bet it won't make the SLR owners real happy.

im sure the cost will be outrageous

No way are they going to put a V12 in the CLK. It would be so nose heavy it wouldn't be funny and it would never fit. Unless they have some new V12 that is smaller than the current one it is never going to happen.

How about a TT6.3 in a CLK Black, now we are talking!

C43AMG

Brabus put a V12 in a C-class.Anything is possible,especially if the production # is small.

he was saying ot was going to be in the $300,000 price range. It was supposedly in a magazine artical not sure which one though.

AMG boss Volder Mornhinweg basicly said the HP war is over. The V12 is really old technology and its been reported the new wave is turbo V8's to achieve emissions and power.
Secondly, and more importantly, AMG improves on the regular MB line up.
If MB doesn't make a 12 cylinder CLK, AMG isn't going to engineer a one off model of 500 units. So according to my mothers brothers cousin who walks Volkers dog, it aint going to happen.

They've done it before.....you're driving one!

Jim Brady

I think you missed my point. They did not radically stretch the dimensions to shoehorn a V8 in a CLK. The V8 CLK existed before the AMG models.

From the U.K press that I have read there is not going to be a clk in 2010.

There will be a new E class coupe that is due out late this year or early next that will act as its replacement. I heard that the "black" version of the E class coupe would be due in the second half of 2010.

There was no mention of a V12 and indeed as has been mentioned before the german manufacturers seem to be heading for smaller engines while adding turbos or superchargers to make up for some of the lost cc.

I believe the next batch of super saloons/coupes will be lighter with smaller capacity engines. The latest " muscle " car era may be coming to a close.

C43AMG

Ok , fair enough.

I think your friend is confusing the CLK63 with the new SL65 BS

C43AMG

That would make sense.

I would have to agree with Jim on this one. I want to also add that AMG would never shoot themselves in the foot by making a limited production car that will blow the pants off an SLR or SL Black series. It makes no business sense to do such a thing. I also like to add that MBZ is coming out with the new Clk class in 2010, but highly doubt that they will have a TTv12 in that line up.

BTW Jim,
my nephew's best friends aunt's ex boyfriend walks Volkers dog. Stop sending miss infomration over the net.

Yeah I think OzzMan is really talking about the SL65 AMG BS: V12, ~300,000, SLR replacement.

JamE55

If you have around $60-70k+ then this is possible.

Are you still sure about that !!

let's see what AMG does with upcoming CLK BS....

I'll try again
