Here are some photos of the “velvet phantom that no one saw coming” (Benz’s words, not ours), otherwise known as the S63 AMG Coupe starring in the German brand’s newest online spot dubbed “Performance Art” that we showed you on Wednesday.

Seeing the interest in the black-finish example of the 577-horsepower bi-turbocharged coupe, Mercedes shared pictures taken from behind the scenes of the commercial.

It didn’t say if and what extra parts were fitted on the S63 AMG Coupe, though, after a quick look at its home website in Germany, it appears that the 20-inch black wheels with the chrome ring are optional and are priced at €2,023 (about US$2,750).
