A hi-tech PH impression of how a C63 Black Series wagon could look
"We will never do a four-door or drop-top Black Series". This is what a senior AMG source told us when they gave us a sneak peek of the new
C63 AMG Coupe Black Series
At the time, we assumed this to mean that Merc would not stray from the coupe formula for its most deranged AMG creations. We were wrong.
Mmmm....6.2-litre V8s....
the spy shots floating around the internet
are anything to go by, AMG is working on an estate version of the Black Series C63. (We don't have spy shots but Riggers does have a rusty copy of Photoshop - ed.) Which means that, beneath the bonnet of the labrador-lugging, family-friendly C-Class Merc will lie the same 517hp, 457lb ft version of Merc's 6.2-litre V8, coupled with a 7-speed MCT transmission.
What it also means (we presume) is that the adjustable suspension, wide track, LSD and various optional extras for on-track trickery. Of course, this is all so much conjecture at the moment; Mercedes has said nothing official
Of course, we should have worked out in the summer that this car was coming - after all, the AMG man only said that they wouldn't do a four-door Black Series. He said nothing about five doors...
