AMG Released Two New Packages For 2012 Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series: AMG Track/Aerodynamics Package

The German brand, Mercedes Benz, released the official photos of their C63 AMG Black Series this past weekend.

Asmost like a tradition of their Black Series, this C63 features a full widebody kit, rear flares and rear bumper, a new bumper which looks similar to the SL65 BS and a vented hood .

The new model has a wilder styling, more power, less weight, stiffer suspension and no rear seats, so it’s no compromise. The C63 AMG Coupe Black Series template also calls for a two-door, fixed roof bodyshell, even if the base car is only offered with a folding hardtop roof. Hence the C63’s predecessors are the CLK63 Black Series, SLK55 Black Series andSL65 Black Series – the latter two models having their folding hardtops replaced with a fixed roof.

Mercedes C63 Black Series keeps the naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 from C63, but power swells from the standard car’s 451bhp – or 480bhp if you spec the Performance Pack – to 510bhp. That brings it tantalisingly close to the E63, the C63’s big brother.

Still, if the standard widebody C63 Black Series isn’t enugh for you, AMG offers two packages to make sure your car is a bit more unique and wallet a bit more lighter.

The AMG Track Package comprises 255/35 R 19 front and 285/30 R 19 rear sports tyres from Dunlop. This tires have been exclusively developed for the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series, and they tangibly and measurably increase grip. Also active rear-axle transmission cooling improves performance in punishing race-track conditions. Another importan aspect is the radiator, which is located in the rear apron and the airflow passes through it effectively.

If you’re not satisfied with Track Package, you can also chose AMG Aerodynamics Package consisting of front carbon fiber canards,also know as flics as AMG calls it. They are made of genuine carbon fibre and located on the front apron. The package also includes a functionally tuned front splitter made of genuine carbon fibre and a fixed carbon-fibre rear aerofoil with an adjustable blade. Both components not only increase the lift at the front and rear axle; they also optimise the vehicle’s aerodynamic balance.

Other optional extras include:
• AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package (cross strut in front apron, exterior mirror housing, inserts on the side sill panel, diffuser insert and spoiler lip in genuine carbon fibre)
• AMG light-alloy wheels featuring forging technology, painted in matt black with a high-sheen finish on the rim flange, with 255/35 R 19 and 285/30 R 19 tires
• AMG carbon-fibre trim
• Fire extinguisher
• Intelligent Light System ILS
• KEYLESS-GO
• Tinted side/rear windows

Price is reported to be around US$165,840.
