It seems that Mercedes is bent on dethroning the BMW M3 as the car of choice for sporty coupes. This video follows the  announcement of the C63 AMG Black Series’ outstanding time at the Nurburgring, where it bested the current M3 GTS’s time by 2 seconds. In that hot lap at the Ring, the C63 Black Series was also only short of the Porsche 911 Carrera S’ time by 2 seconds.  With its 517 horsepower 6.2 liter V8, this Black Series coupe has got the motivation and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission it needs to run with the best.

Following the Nurburgring stint, Mercedes has filmed this Diamond White C63 AMG Black Series at Laguna Seca, another well-known driver’s track with its famous vertigo-inducing Corkscrew. Follow us as we watch the video of this super coupe tackling another difficult course with aplomb.
