Attempting to improve upon what is already one of AMG's most remarkable product offerings, Kicherer has unveiled a new tuning package for the Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series which seeks to inject even more performance into the highly capable model.

Titled the "Kicherer Racer," attributes of the tuned CLK63 AMG Black Series include a power increase of about 30 horsepower and 20 Nm of torque (the result of which is a 0-62 mph time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of more than 186 mph); a chassis specially developed for Kicherer by DTM specialist H&R which improves cornering dynamics by several degrees; and a wealth of carbon fiber accents, both inside and out.

Most unique, however, was Kicherer's decision to add rear seats to the model - transforming the track-bred CLK63 Black back into a four seater. The result is a supremely powerful and exceptionally responsive CLK - one that now affords you the opportunity to share your automotive euphoria with not one... not two... but three other passengers.
