on contrary to its namesake, the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series is not in black but its a special souped up vehicle by none other than AMG. the C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series made its world premiere at the Formula One race on the Nürburgring, German Grand Prix on the 23 to 24 July, 2011. equipped with a fearsome 6,208 cc V8 petrol engine that pushes out 517 horsepower (380 kW) and generates a massive 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque, this particular example is the most powerful C-Class to date.
