2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Coupe - New Zealand Delivered - Obsidian Black - Hand-Built AMG V8 - Totally Original
We are proud to present this outstanding opportunity to secure one of the most iconic and increasingly collectible modern AMGs ever produced with this stunning 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Coupe.
Delivered new to New Zealand in 2001 and built for the highly desirable right-hand-drive market, this beautiful example is finished in timeless Obsidian Black over a Black AMG Nappa leather interior. Having travelled just 181,000 kilometres from new, it remains completely factory original and represents exactly the type of authentic, unmodified example enthusiasts and collectors are actively seeking today.
Built during the golden era of AMG, when each engine was still hand-assembled in Affalterbach, the CLK55 AMG is powered by the legendary M113 5.4-litre naturally aspirated V8, producing effortless performance through the renowned AMG SpeedShift 5-speed automatic transmission. Delivering an intoxicating V8 soundtrack, immense reliability and effortless torque, the M113 is widely regarded as one of AMG's finest engines and one that helped establish the brand's legendary reputation.
Production numbers were extremely limited, with approximately 2,000 CLK55 AMG Coupes produced worldwide and believed to be only around 100 right-hand-drive examples delivered across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and South Africa. As one of the final hand-built AMG models of its generation, its collectability continues to strengthen year after year.
At the time of its release, the CLK55 AMG was one of the world's fastest luxury coupes, commanding a new-car price in excess of $240,000 in Australia and New Zealand. Its performance credentials were further reinforced when the model was selected as the Official Formula One Safety Car during the 2001 and 2002 seasons, showcasing AMG engineering on the world's biggest motorsport stage.
Having had just three enthusiast owners from new, this example has been meticulously maintained by authorised Mercedes-Benz dealers and respected marque specialists. It remains completely unmodified, retaining all of its original factory components and presenting exactly as a true collector-grade AMG should.
