2008 Mercedes Benz CLK63 Black Series

It’s Sunday, the 16th of March 2008, and the sun shines over Melbourne with a blistering 39-degree day.

Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren Mercedes lines up next to Robert Kubica in his Sauber BMW on the front row of the grid. The lights go out, and 22 Formula One cars launch into the 2008 F1 season. As they charge into the first corner, chaos erupts as cars make contact and spin off in all directions.

Race control hits the big red button, and the new Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series is deployed onto the circuit to wrangle the remaining F1 cars back into order.

The big 6.2-litre V8 rumbles to life with a deep snarl and basso profundo grumble. There’s more than a hint of the company’s DTM CLK race car in this vehicle’s appearance — with its prominent carbon-fibre front apron and rear diffuser, 19-inch forged alloys, and extroverted dual-exhaust tailpipes. Stomp the throttle and the exhaust note sharpens into an urgent, staccato beat as the 500+ hp launches the car with intent.

This Australian-delivered modern classic is one of only 32 examples sent down under, from a total of just 700 built worldwide.

Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic, the interior features soft black racing bucket seats surrounded by Black AMG leather and carbon fibre trim throughout. Technology such as cruise control, multi-function control screen with satellite navigation, and a reverse camera come as standard.

It comes with a complete, up-to-date service history — most recently completed by Mercedes-Benz Melbourne in April 2025 — along with its service booklet, manuals, and spare keys. This vehicle presents in exceptional showroom condition and would suit even the most meticulous classic car investors and enthusiasts.
