C63-AMG-BS-2

Just like all Black Series Benz – The C63 showcases the inside mind of the AMG engineers when they let their imagination go berserk. As a technological exercise, the Black is set to be more track focused with its flared fenders and carbon-fibre aerowing to give it more downforce, but no amount of ‘aerodynamism’ will keep this monster dormant – once that V8 muscle is unleashed. Replacing Megan Fox, the C63 AMG Black Series is now hung up on teenagers bedroom walls – for improved inspiration.
