Benz Faqs

Spy photographers managed to catch the 2010 Mercedes CLK in heavy camouflage. If we are looking at this picture right it looks as if they put a lot of time into the C-pillar and the rear quarter panel.

The vigorous cover-up in that particular area is fueling suspicions that the CLK will be getting the CLS banana-boat treatment, complete with the “Coupe” moniker. Most of the details have been carefully obscured, but we’re not expecting to have our hair blown back when the wraps come off.

It is possible that the camo indicates a car that’s 12-18 months away, and that the debut will likely be at the 2009 Frankfurt show.

The new 2009 CLK has been kept under a watchful eye. Sure we’ve seen a few photos surface on the internet – but these newest pics - which were taken by the guys at CarAndDriver are much clearer and give us a better idea of what to expect from the new model. So far we are happy to say that we expect great things from the new C-class – which is usually disappointing in style and power.

 The Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black-Series is a vehicle that has been beefed up with more power than a normal Mercedes-Benz. You may not be able to outrun any of the racers on the Formula 1 racers, but you will be able to race alongside them.

Compared with the “standard” CLK63 AMG coupe, the Black Series is nearly 100 pounds lighter, and more potent. For one thing, there’s enough featherweight, beautifully sculptured carbon fiber inside and out to make about 1000 of those chic executive ashtrays.
