The Dark Side of the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black Series

One of my favorite cars has got to be the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG. This model is a more powerful version of the popular C-Class. The C63 AMG has V8 engine with 451 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, plenty of power to have some fun from stoplight to stoplight. But if that is not enough for you, Mercedes has made an even more powerful AMG called the Black Series.

The Black Series has AMG's 6.3 liter V8 engine but in this car it has an output of 510 hp. The power gets to the rear wheels through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7 speed multi-clutch transmission. Mercedes Benz says that the Black Series has a 0-60 acceleration time of 4.2 seconds, a considerable improvement over the 4.4 seconds of the regular C63 AMG.

The C63 AMG Black Series is said to have a price around the $100,000 which is kind of steep for when you remember that a base C-Class starts around 35K. But the car will be built on a limited number and expected to start sells later this year. I just wished i could get one.....
