The CLK550 jumps to a 382 horsepower, 5.5 liter, V8 engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission.

The white leather interior of a 2008 Mercedes Benz CLK.
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class consists of a varied lineup of luxury coupes and convertibles from the highly regarded German auto manufacturer. Similar in style to the 4 door coupe E-Class and sharing many of the same chassis components as the C-Class, The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class luxury coupes and cabriolets are joined this year by the limited edition, 500 horsepower CLK-63 AMG Black high performance coupe. Destined to be a collector’s item, there are only 350 CLK-63 AMG Black models slated for the United States. Also new this year is a finely tuned sport suspension system and twin spoke 18 inch wheels for the best seller in the lineup, the CLK350.
Both the coupe and convertible models have a distinctively chic and sensual appearance and their feature rich cabins are luxuriously inviting with an impeccable design featuring real wood, leather and chrome. Both models are available in 3 trims and feature rear wheel drive, a 7 speed automatic transmission and seating for 4 adults -with the exception of the CLK63 Black Series from which the backseat was removed to reduce the weight of the car, therefore increasing speed and performance.

Foreign competition includes the Audi A5, BMW M3, Infiniti G37, Lexus SC 430, Volvo C70, Jaguar XK and Porsche 911.
