The new Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series is only a few months away from its market launch in January 2012.
So it’s about time Mercedes reveals the car’s pricing details. The base car costs 115,430 euros, which is a lot even by AMG standards. But then AMG Black Series cars are all very special.
Unlike almost all the other focused, performance-minded models these cars are not striped-out racing cars for the streets. Even the base car comes with lots of amenities and equipments such as Audio 20 CD radio with double tuner, colour display, Bluetooth interface, hands-free function, USB interface and eight loudspeakers and THERMATIC automatic climate control, and if go for the optional packages AMG offers, they get even more feature-rich.
And at the end of the day it’s a Black Series. That means you get a massively powerful engine, in this case a 6.3 liter V8 developing 517 hp and over 600 Nm of torque, which takes the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and onto the top speed of 300 km/h (limited).
What sets the car apart from normal AMG C63, apart from the DTM-like body kit and 19-inch wheels, is the revised suspension, brakes, and computer system that controls its behaviors. The Black is a beast of a car with an extremely happy tail and an exhaust noise that if you’re not careful, can start earthquake!
