2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series: Blast From the Past

This is the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series Coupe.

Only 350 of these came to the US.

These 19-inch polished wheels were standard.

The Black Series is powered by a 6.2-liter V8.

This coupe makes 500 horsepower, which was a ton when it debuted.

The Black Series could hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds.

This is an incredibly special car.

And a real treat to drive.

Here’s hoping I get to experience it again someday.

And with such lovely company, too.
