Following in AMG tradition, the Black Series will combine increased performance and a unique look with limited production numbers. Look for less than 10 percent of all C63 AMG Coupes to be Black Series models.

Like its sedan Black Series counterpart, the coupe will target the BMW M3 but will offer way more power. Expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 510 horsepower from an amped-up 6.2-liter V8, as well as a performance-minded seven-speed Speedshift automatic transmission. Look for top speed to be governed at 186 mph (300 kph), although an unlimited model might be offered in some markets.

To make the best use of this grunt, the Black Series will gain a widened stance, as evidenced by the plump wheel arches of this prototype. A beefed up rear end will put power exclusively to the rear wheels, unlike the all-wheel-drive Audi RS5. Look for AMG to further perfect its stability control, which will feature several modes aimed at various driving environments. A mean and loud exhaust system will also be part of the package.

Inside, the Black Series will get its own seats, a unique steering wheel and some special trim.

Look for this performance machine to make its auto show debut in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show alongside the Black Series sedan.
