Spy photos and plenty of speculation have been coming in on the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Coupe for some time now and finally the first photos of the much anticipated coupe have made their way onto the web.  The C63 AMG Black Series Coupe photos were taken during a test event at Circuit Paul Ricard in one of the garages.  Based on what sources at the event had to say, the new C63 AMG Black Series Coupe doesn’t quite meet the hardcore expectations set by the CLK 63 AMG Black Series.

Sources to Jalopnik had this to say: “What i know right now from my colleague who was there is that its the 6.2 liters NA V8, with 517 ps [510 hp], around 640 NM of torque [472 lb-ft] (it’s nearly the same configuration as in the previous CLS63). Its 20kg [44lbs} lighter than the standard AMG coupe, LSD is standard, it has the MCT gearbox, 4 seats (first time on a Black), a bigger rear spoiler is optional as will be some more ‘track focused’ features (no details yet). On sale mid November in Germany for less than 100K euros, beginning of 2012 for the rest of the world. Don’t know for the importation on your side of the Atlantic.”
