Mercedes-Benz already spilled most of the details regarding its C63 AMG Coupe Black Series last month. The German automaker mentioned an available Aerodynamics package for the Black Series in the car’s initial press release, but these shots from our spy photographer are the first we’ve seen of those additional aero bits. Making the car look even more track-capable than the already racy Black Series C-coupe, this package looks like it shifts the C63’s gentle balance between street car and DTM racer.
In the front, we can see the aero package places canards along the sides of the front valance. Mercedes says these canards, or “winglets,†as the manufacturer calls them, help to increase downforce and aerodynamic balance. Whether functional or not, this addition, combined with the existing front splitter, really completes the DTM look of the front end. In back, the deck lid receives a fixed rear wing, which Mercedes says features an adjustable aerofoil. If the Black Series didn’t look boy-racerish before, the new rear spoiler certainly does the trick. Not that we’re complaining.
Beneath the rear bumper, the diffuser remains unaltered from the standard Black Series. However, this car could also be testing AMG’s Track package, meaning there could be a cooling system for the rear differential hiding underneath all that delicious carbon fiber. Even if it’s mostly for show, the new package has gotten us all hot and bothered for the upcoming muscle Benz.
