The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is already a powerhouse in its own right. But, apparently, that is not enough for the guys from Affalterbach. So, they created the C63 AMG Coupé Black Series. It is the most powerful iteration of this car yet.
Armed with a 380 kW AMG 6,3-litre V8 that is mated with AMG’s Speedshift MCT seven-speed transmission, it's said to complete the zero to 100 km/h sprint in 4,2 seconds.
This Black Series is lower than the “lesser” C63, has widened tracks, is also lighter than its stock sibling, and has an oil cooler with a 50 per cent larger surface than before. It also features the adjustable AMG coil-over sports suspension and the AMG high-performance compound braking system. If this isn’t enough though, the AMG Track Package is available as an option for added dynamics. Other highlights include sports tyres and active rear-axle transmission cooling and the AMG aerodynamics package.
When talking about the new Black Edition, Ola Källenius, the CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, stated that, "AMG has its roots in international motorsport. The new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupé Black Series is the best proof there is for the permanent transfer of technology from the race track to the road. The numerous successes in the DTM, the customer sports range featuring the SLS AMG GT3 and our commitment to Formula 1, where we have been providing the Official F1 Safety Car and the Official F1 Medical Car for the past 15 years, continuously spur on our engineers and technicians. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupé Black Series embodies the new AMG brand claim, Driving Performance, like no other AMG model".
The C63 AMG Coupé Black Series stands out with its arrow-shaped front end, large air intakes and two openings on the bonnet to help with keeping the engine cool. Lower on the front of the car is a splitter that helps with the aerodynamics of the car. Along the side, there are “6,3” logos that hint at what lies at the heart of this car, while the rear end is defined by a new apron with and black diffuser insert. Also exclusive to this model is the AMG logo with "Black Series" lettering.
