• One of only six Mercedes-Benz models ever to wear iconic Black Series badge
• First owned by Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer
• Breathtaking performance from AMG’s 500 brake horsepower V-8 engine
• Finished in Bright Silver Metallic paint; only 4,181 kilometres since new

With only 500 made over a three-year period from 2007, the extreme Black Series version of the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Coupé is a highly coveted performance car. But this particular model has a unique ace up its sleeve in that it was delivered new to Roger Federer in July 2009, the same month that the tennis superstar won Wimbledon for the sixth time.

A sporting legend such as Federer is sure to have appreciated the thoroughbred appeal of the Black Series’ hand-built AMG 6.2-litre V-8 engine, which delivers 500 brake horsepower to the rear wheels via a seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission. The result is blistering performance, with 0-100 km/h served in just 4.2 seconds, while a muscular body, including dramatically flared wheel arches, endows the car with a suitably menacing look.

The example on offer has 4,181 kilometres on its odometer at the time of cataloguing and is finished in Bright Silver Metallic paint. Inside, buckets seats in black anthracite fabric offer excellent support. After Federer relinquished the car in 2010, it was later bought by its consigning owner in 2021, and has been in storage since. It is offered with all original books and tools, plus copies of documentation from its famous first owner.
