Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series specs and launch mooted

The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series won't be officially unveiled until July, but Canadian forum Beyond has managed to get the inside scoop early. Canadian AMG dealers let the cat out of the bag by asking customers who have reserved one of these rockets if they'd like to enter a contest to go to the N ürburgring. With a little sleuthing, Beyond was able to uncover the plan and connect the dots from there.

The car will reportedly be let loose at the Nürburgring during the German GP, packing a 6.2-liter, 500-plus-horsepower V8. The engine comes loaded with internals taken straight from the SLS AMG supercar, and is backed by a seven-speed gearbox and locking differential. Sounds tasty, and if our time in the latest C63 AMG Coupe is anything to go on, we're sure that the Black Series will be nothing short of spectacular.
