It’s a white and wintry Christmas in many parts of the world but Mercedes-Benz is in a black mood. A Black Series mood, that is. Following the media campaign for the C63 AMG Black Series coupe and the announcement of the SLS Black Series in its coupe and roadster version comes the confirmation that a Black Series C63 AMG Estate is in the works. There is a certain subset of car enthusiasts that just go gaga over fast estates and Mercedes certainly won’t deny these enthusiastic individuals the chance to own a Black Series estate.

Since the C63 Black Series estate won’t be released til the middle of next year at the earliest, those car enthusiasts pining for that super wagon will have to content themselves with a rendering from Theophilus Chin, who has come up with a version that definitely has our mouths watering. The front of the car is certainly consistent with the official images of the Black Series coupe and the rest of the rendering continues with what AMG designers would probably pen to make an aggressive-looking Black Series estate. It would also be safe to assume that the estate will have the 517 horsepower/7-speed drivetrain of the other C63 Black Series variants, which would mean a 0-60 mph time of around 4 seconds.
