Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Coupe

The new Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series made its world debut at the Formula 1 German Grand Prix on the N�rburgring. The new model features a spectacular design, technology transfer from the world of motorsport, and the highest level of driving dynamics. Sales on the US market will begin in early 2012.

The Mercedes C63 AMG is powered by a 6.3 liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 510 HP and a peak torque of 457 lb-ft. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in 4.2 seconds, while top speed will be limited to 155 mph.

Next to an impressive exterior look, the C63 AMG Black Series will be equipped with adjustable AMG coil-over sports suspension, the AMG high-performance compound braking system, and functional standard equipment. A special AMG Track Package will add sports tires and active rear-axle transmission cooling, and the AMG Aerodynamics package will include flics, a functionally tuned front splitter, and an adjustable carbon-fiber rear aerofoil.

UPDATE 12/20/2011: While Mercedes has kind of delayed the real test for the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, German magazine, Sport Auto, went ahead and tested the sports coupe for themselves, right where it matters: the Nurburgring. Their little soiree with the Black Series Coupe landed them a lap time of 7 minutes and 46 seconds, placing it between the Porsche Carrera S (7:44) and the BMW M3 GTS (7:48). In addition to the stellar lap time, the Merc also sprinted from 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 13.9 seconds. (BenzBoost)

UPDATE 12/21/11: A day after Sport Auto posted a video of the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe blasting through the Nurburging comes another video of the sports car dominating yet another race track: Laguna Seca. This new video was posted by Mercedes AMG themselves, showing the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe tackling one of the world’s most famous racing circuits with relative ease. It’s rare to find a car that can do blistering lap after blistering lap at Laguna Seca, but the C63 AMG Black Series makes it look like child’s play.
