Just got my issue of European Car--guess what's on the cover?
Here's a copy of the article in the May issue of EC--I love this magazine.
For those of you who don't get it, you should, but here's a great article.
I posted close ups of the text portion so you can read everything clearly--I hope you enjoy the read

Is the article saying the power was increased to 630 wheel hp or was it supposed to be to the crank ??? Here is a quote from the article:
Also, the article mentions that the car was equipped with HRE CF43 carbon fiber wheel? I've been very interested in that wheel for a while but I was told that HRE discontinued it when Dymag went out of business a couple of years ago.... I wonder if this was an older project? 
The Evosport CLK63 spun the dyno wheel to an impressive 630 hp and 589 lb-ft of twist.

From the magazine's quote it sounds like wheel hp. Plus not too many ppl has a true engine dyno laying around
black-clk500, thanks for scanning it and posting it! Really nice pics and spec.
Mmmm....Vorsteiner CF hood and EVO rear control arms....can't wait for those to become officially available.

Glad to see evosport can enjoy some good press. I should have some more press on evosport in two days.

Would this be the same CLK 63 BS that was in Brad's sig? Thought this was already featured before no?
In any case it looks amazing! I can only imagine the roar!

I remember Jim's 11 sec run when it was posted, I was very impressed. I was never able to break into the 11's in stock trim, you east coast guys get all the good tracks and conditions seems there are a lot of records set at Atco and MIR.
BTW is this Rob?

Dependant on the amount of wheelspin and 60ft times a 121 mph 11.9-12.1 is a feasable trap speed, I'll agree with you that it's unlikely and that 117-119mph is more realistic but 121 mph trap it is feasable.
