The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG debuted at last week's New York Auto Show sporting a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 packing 451 snorting ponies. On the heels of that debut comes a report that AMG's upcoming C63 AMG Black Series will arrive packing just over 500 horsepower from a tweaked version of the same engine. With that much grunt on tap, the Black Series two-door should go from zero to sideways faster than you can say "new tires."

When the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe debuts, expect it to differentiate itself from the rest of the C-Class world with a lower stance and significantly wider and more aggressive bodywork, and we wouldn't be surprised if it weighed less, too. The coupe should follow the debut of the C63 AMG Black Series Sedan. Like the four-door, the Black Series Coupe will almost certainly funnel grunt through Mercedes-Benz's AMG Speedshift seven-speed gearbox.

WOW...I can't believe Mercedes is doing 2 bodystyles for the C-Class Black Series. I really hope they manage to take some real weight out, like 400lbs or better and up the power to like 525-540hp. The Coupe for me please! Thanks. Do we see these at Frankfurt???

It's coming quite sooner than I expected.

From Beyond, a canadian forum.

Several members on our car forums were recently contacted by their Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealers and told their 2013 C63 Coupe AMG Black Series waiting list spot had to be confirmed for a contest run by Mercedes-Benz Canada. The car has not been officially announced yet, but a few members have been digging for information from their AMG sales reps and we’ve been able to piece it all together to figure out exactly what’s going on!

Here’s what we know so far about the fourth Black Series car. It will arrive in Canada in 2012 as a 2013 model. The car will be powered by the M156 (6.2L V8) with P31 upgrade (SLS internals) producing over 500hp, 620Nm torque and will be ECU limited to 300km/h. All that power will be delivered to the 19″ AMG forged wheels via the new AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed transmission with wet startup clutch. The car with feature adjustable coilover suspension and rear locking differential, much like its CLK63 Black Series predecessor. MSRP is expected to be just over $100,000. There were rumors that the upcoming Black Series car was going to break tradition and be launched as a sedan but it looks like it will be a 2 seater coupe–for now.

The official announcement of the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series will be in July, likely at the Nurburgring track for the German Grand Prix. The C63 Black Series will only be sold through AMG Performance centers, but if you’re still on the fence it is already too late as all Canadian allocations have been spoken for. One forum member that tried to put a deposit down was told they were too late and all the allocations were taken.

To celebrate the second Black Series vehicle available in Canada, AMG will be holding a random draw for one lucky C63 AMG Coupe Black Series customer and their guest to attend the F1 GP in Germany to preview the car. The sales representative will also be joining as a Canadian ambassador. The contest closes June 30, and the winner be announced in early July.

Included in the prize package are:

AMG VIP Tickets to F1 Race at Nurburgring
Full access to AMG Lounge in the Mercedes-Benz Grandstand in the Paddock Club
C63 AMG Black Series preview on July 23, 2011 Night of the Stars
We’ll update as we learn more about this exciting new vehicle and if one of our forum members is the lucky winner, we’ll be sure to harass them to write about their experience from the Nurburgring! Congratulations for securing a deposit to one of the most highly anticipated vehicles from AMG in awhile!
