For those of you out there that need more than the current C63 AMG’s 451 horsepower engine, Mercedes is working on a C63 AMG Black Series that will most certainly fulfill your needs. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series will offer up right around 510 horsepower, which for those of you counting is 29 more than the current C63 AMG equipped with P31 Development Package. With these figures, we expect the 6.2 liter naturally aspirated V8 as the choice engine.

Some reports have come in that there could be a possibility of a 5.5 liter twin-turbo V8 offering 571 bhp. While we are leaning towards the 6.2 NA option, we will certainly keep you posted if we find out anything concrete.

The C63 AMG Black Series that was spotted testing in Sweden was sporting wider fenders and a new front spoiler, as well as an updated rear diffuser taking inspiration from Formula One. While still in development, the C63 AMG Black Sereies test car is using the prior front fascia not found on the new 2012 car, however w will likely see the updated headlamps and LED running lights as part of the new package.

The saloon version of the new Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series will be launched first, followed by a coupe soon after.

Thanks to Andrus and Gmotors for the tip.
