Back in Black - C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series Pricing Announced
 |
MULGRAVE, AUSTRALIA – Nov 9, 2011: The C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series will go on sale in Australia during April 2012 at a MRLP of $245,000. Thirty two will be imported to Australia and three to New Zealand. The 6.3 litre V8 develops 380kW of power and 620Nm of torque which will produce a 0-100km/h time of 4.2 seconds.
The Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Mr Horst von Sanden has announced pricing for the most powerful C-Class ever the C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series. “In Australia we have offered two AMG Black Series models in the past and they were very quickly snapped up by AMG aficionados who recognised their unique character and scarcity. This is our third Black Series and it follows on from the success of the CLK 63 AMG Black Series (40 units for Australia/NZ) and the SL 65 AMG Black Series (7 units for Australia/NZ).
“The C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series will be limited to a total of 35 units for Australia and New Zealand. Obviously we wanted to get more but, the global customer demand for this latest Black Series (since it was revealed at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show) has seen our allocation limited to just 35 units. Many CLK 63 AMG Black Series owners see the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series as the logical successor and we already have a double figure order bank,” said von Sanden.
The CLK 63 AMG Black Series went on sale in the first quarter of 2008 at a RRP of $299,000 - thirty two were imported to Australia and eight to New Zealand. The 6.3 litre V8 developed 373 kW of power and 630Nm of torque which produced a 0-100km/h time of 4.3 seconds.
Each C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series vehicle bound for Australia and New Zealand will come with a unique personalised certificate of authenticity, along with a letter of provenance signed by Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific verifying the limited edition status of this vehicle.
