It seems likely that the W205-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 will receive a Black Series variant just like its predecessor.
Autocar claims to have received word from AMG boss Tobias Moers that a new C-Class Black Series is under consideration and expected to be given the go-ahead for production. Given the popularity of the previous C63 Black, it isn’t surprising that the German automaker is looking to replicate that success with the new model.
If it does come to fruition, the model’s standard 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is expected to be extensively modified. In fact, power could rise from the 503 hp of the C63 S to nearer the 600 hp mark, giving it a huge power advantage over even the BMW M4 GTS.
As with the previous model, the new C63 Black Series should be based around the coupe, rather than the sedan and cabriolet versions.
Alongside this addition to the Black Series family, Moers confirmed earlier in the year that the AMG GT will indeed receive a Black Series version but that it won’t arrive until nearer the end of the GT’s production life cycle.
