RE: Mercedes-AMG C63 Black Series | Spotted

Great engine, very good chassis, let down by vague feel-less steering and a indecisive slush box...so overall, overrated and overpriced...

That M156 is a sublime engine. Can be as docile as a cat when trundling along but as furious as Tyson when unleashed. Sounds like thunder.

And I agree with the sentiments in other comments - starting it up and leaving the door open always put a smile on my face as well!

My Mercedes specialist had a white CLK Black Series in a few weeks back (it was from Dubai) - now that thing sounded even more mental on cold start up.

Not a well-researched article. These produce 510bhp not 503bhp, and the C63 DR520 is the most powerful W204 C63 variant at 518bhp

Nice looking Motors, but tend to agree with the CLK comments too.

I have a 507 Coupe and I bloody love it. I think it could look a tad more aggressive though but overall it's an absolute riot.

The gearbox is no dual clutch (dsg, pdk) but I find it's absolutely fine. In sport + or manual mode it's highly addictive. Responsive enough to keep it interesting and an absolute blast on down shifts.

The engine deserves all praise it gets. It's an absolute masterpiece.

Snaps of mine.

Thanks!

The 507 benefits from the SLS internals like the Black, so engine wise at least I think they're largely similar.
