CLK 63 Down Under:  CarsGuide.com.au Tests Mercedes' AMG-Tuned Midsize Coupe
Posted November 27th, 2006 At 3:30 PM CST

During the tenth annual Classic Adelaide rally that took place in Australia a week ago, the fine gentlemen of CarsGuide.com.au took a moment to strap themselves in behind the wheel of the AMG-tuned CLK 63, navigating it alongside the hundreds of other exotic automobiles in attendance and of course, writing about their excursions for the rest of the wanting world to lust after.

Although not particularly shocking considering they were piloting a roughly 500 horsepower coupe, the reviewers noted that the CLK had an amazing "willingness to corner" and "ferocious acceleration". The reviewer also noted, when it came time to slow the CLK 63, that "the brakes were stronger than expected and complement the powerplant with the right sort of potency".

Unsurprising, and yet my desire to pilot a CLK63 burns ever so fervently. Please Mercedes, appease my yearning heart and give me that which I long for... if only for a few fleeting laps on the high speed test track of my choosing...

Sorry, I'm getting carried away.

To learn more, head over to CarsGuide.com.au for their full review.

As always, thanks for the tip Shiv, you know we appreciate it.
