2012 Mercedes C 63 AMG Black Series Is A Hairy-Chested V8 Coupe

Carscoops

This example is one of nearly 100 built for the North American market.

It has a roaring 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 and a Frequency Intelligent catless exhaust.

A steering wheel from a modern AMG model has also been fitted.

With 671 hp and a hybridized 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder under the hood, the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C 63 is a speed demon capable of ripping your face off. However, some would argue it lacks the same desirability as its predecessors, particularly the W204-generation car in Black Series guise.

At the time of the C 63 AMG Black Series’ launch more than a decade ago, it was unlike any of its rivals and brought with it simply extraordinary levels of performance, combined with dramatic looks. Fast forward to 2024 and we think it still looks just as good as it did when it was new. One example is currently up for auction through Bring a Trailer.

This C 63 AMG Black Series is a 2012 model and one of approximately 100 built for the North American market. It has a clean Carfax report, a clean Montana title, and service records and is one of the finest examples of the greatest of all C-Class models.

Adorning the exterior of the car is a nice finish of Designo Magno Alanite Grey, which makes this C 63 Black one of just four in North America painted like it. It includes blacked-out badges and the entire body has been covered in a paint protection film. It sits on the original 19-inch forged wheel which are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

The seller has fitted the car with an Alcantara and carbon fiber steering wheel from a new AMG model. Few other modifications have been made, although it does now rock a Frequency Intelligent (Fi) catless exhaust system to allow the 510 hp (517 PS) 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 to scream. This engine is coupled to a seven-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.

If you’re interested in picking up the keys to this C 63 AMG Black Series, head on over to Bring a Trailer where it is up for auction. The car has been driven just 11,000 miles (~17,000 km) and, at the time of writing, the highest bid stood at $85,500.
