German luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz will unveil its hot new model—the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series edition—in the German Grand Prix which will be held in Nürburgring, Germany this year.

The flashy hot model boasts is molded from the same success formula of its predecessors that carry the infamous Black Series name. Under the hood is a 6.2-liter V8 engine, which now has an enlarged oil cooler (by almost 50%) and a brand new engine control unit. This hot engine has 517 horsepower (an additional 60horsepower compared to the normal C63 Coupe engine) and 457 lb-ft of powerful torque.

This brand new, powerful engine is attached to a 7-speed, double-cluth AMG Speedshift gearbox that comes with four driving modes and the most powerful, faster gear shift time. The new model comes with 19-inch rear wheels and can accelerate in 62mph in the astonishing time of just 4.2 seconds.

The front and rear tracks of the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series has been extended, 40mm and 70mm to be exact. Several modifications come in adjustable sports suspension, firmer anti-roll bars, a redesigned front and rear bumper with enlarged air intakes, and bigger side sills.

The C63 AMG Coupe Black Series will be offered in two types: the Track Package comes with a differential cooler and modified Dunlop tires. The other is the Aerodynamic Package that comes with a rear spoiler and aerodynamic aids made with carbonfiber.

The C63 AMG Coupe Black Series is expected to go on sale anytime in January 2012 with price tags starting at €115,430 ($165,722).
