The C63 AMG Black Series is a 510 hp track machine with a dark side. Looking like a blot of inky darkness in Magno Night Black, with the big 6.2-liter V-8 barking and snorting while it slides around corners, it's clear that this car wasn't just built to take to the track; it was built to be the best.

About the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series
Under the Black Series' hood beats a heart familiar to those who know AMG: the 6.3-liter V-8. But now the big eight has gained the pistons, crankshaft, and connecting rods from the SLS AMG, and it breathes easier, too. The result: horsepower swells to 510 and torque reaches a full-blooded 457 lb-ft. When this newfound power reaches the rear wheels via the seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission, 60 mph follows in a scant 4.2 seconds.

But power like that needs a suspension with the moves to match the might. Adjustable coil-overs do the job and the Black Series reacts to changes in the road with lightning-quick reflexes. Meanwhile, the widened track (1.6 inches at the front and an incredible 3.1 at the rear) maintains a tenacious grip on the pavement under the Black Series' lightweight 19-inch wheels. And when it's time to stop, six piston calipers come down on 15.4-inch disc brakes up front and four pistons put the clamp on 14.2-inch rotors in the rear. Read more.
