Mercedes-Benz has been spotted testing a new aerodynamics package for the new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupé Black Series. The pack appears to include a range of more aggressive carbon fibre spoilers and side skirts on top of the normal, and already pumped, Black Series Coupé.
Since the C63 AMG Coupé Black Series is already one of the most extreme models in the company’s current lineup, what better way to really cement that fact by launching a full race aero kit. The Black Series has received a carbon fibre front chin spoiler and splitter system to help push air over the C63 Coupé, as well as carbon fibre front winglets and side skirts for added downforce. The rear also includes a new, more serious, rear diffuser system with a large boot-mounted carbon fibre wing. Additional carbon fibre is also used on the side mirror casings and various carbon trimming pieces added to the interior, all in an effort to save weight.
Previous reports have stated this aerodynamics package will also include a set of matt black 19-inch alloy wheels, with 255/35 profile rubber in front and 285/30 profile rubber out back, a fire extinguisher, improved cooling for the active rear-axle transmission and a radiator located in the rear apron that allows the airflow to pass through it effectively.
The engine remains unchanged, but the 6.3-litre V8 is hardly lacking with 380 kW and peak torque of 620 Nm, allowing the vehicle a 0 – 100 km/h sprint time of 4.2 seconds.
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupé Black Series is set to hit international showrooms in January next year. This aero kit will likely become available as an optional extra.
