2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe

2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe : Back in February 2011, Mercedes-Benz announced that they are re-introducing the C-Class Coupe and I am positive that I am not the initial person to say that the new Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe is 100x far better seeking than the prior iteration of the Coupe. Additionally, Mercedes-Benz also noted they will generate a high efficiency AMG version. Specifically, it will be a Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe and this time Mercedes' AMG division claims that it was objective built from the ground up for efficiency. That stated, yes every AMG model has solid efficiency figures, but the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG, CL63 AMG or CLS63 AMG essentially had "bolt-on" performance modifications. The C63 AMG Black Series on the other hand was crafted to encroach on BMW M territory.

And like other AMGs with the 63 badge, this Mercedes Benz has the 6.three-liter V-8. Yet, unlike the other AMGs, this engine shares the very same pistons, crankshaft and connecting rods from the SLS AMG and as a result the Black Series produces 510 horsepower. This represents a ~12% improve in horsepower compared to the C63 AMG Coupe (non-Black Series) which has a modest 457 horsepower engine. The improvement in torque is a significantly more modest three% to 457 lb-ft in the Black Series from 443 lb-ft in the C63 AMG Coupe. And to make this model significantly more "track-friendly", AMG optimized the engine oil cooling program giving the oil cooler a cooling surface which is 50% larger.

To transfer all of the power to the rear tires, this Black Series has the innovative AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed sports transmission which has four transmission modes, a double-declutching function and a "Race Start off"function.In the "Sport Plus" and "Manual" transmission modes the gear alterations take a mere 100 milliseconds.

The front tires are 255/35 R 19 though the rear tires are a small wider at 285/30 R 19. These tires are mounted on 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels. These are vast improvements in size over C63 AMG which in the front has 235/40 R 18 and in the rear 255/35 R 18. These wider tires transfer power to the tarmac and permit the Black Series to reach 60 mph in four.two seconds and help the automobile retain grip about tight corners.

The Black Series' party piece is its adjustable coil-more than suspension program. The track width of the axles has been widened by 1.6 at the front and 3.1 inches at the rear and the program provides a lot of setting choices permitting the driver to develop his/her personal private set-up. That said, this model is said to have much better grip and a low roll angle which makes it feel even more like a sports vehicle rather than a luxury car that Mercedes-Benz is identified for.

This Mercedes will give 's M division a run for its dollars. I personally adore the appear of this Black Series. I like the wider a lot more aggressive stance, the 19-inch AMG wheels, the interior styling and all of the performance bells and whistles. That mentioned, I would strongly think about acquiring this if I was in the market. This C63 AMG Black Series will surely give BMW's M Division a run for its funds.
