[Spy Shots]: C63 AMG Black Series Sedan

It looks as if Mercedes-Benz is closer to giving the C63 AMG Sedan the Black Series treatment, judging by the shots our spy photographers nabbed of the menacing four door frolicking around the Nürburgring.

Word has it that the C63 AMG Black Series Sedan will pack the same 510-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 as found in the two-door as well as an identical seven-speed automatic gearbox. It's worth pointing out that the cog swapper is no standard slusher, however. The seven speed is an AMG SpeedShift MCT capable of changing gears in as little as one tenth of a second. Let's see your left foot do that.

Expect to see a volley of suspension tricks lifted from the meaner coupe as well as a larger oil cooler and brakes capable of bringing planetary bodies to a screeching halt. So far there's no word on when we'll see the vehicle debut, but we're guessing it won't be too far down the line. Stay tuned.

Unless you are implying AMG MCT is a "conventional slusher" - which it is not. It doesn't have a torque converter like "conventional" automatics (at least not for 1st and 2nd).

I wonder why the Wagon was released before the sedan?
