Hold on to your hats, folks. As if the current 451-horsepower <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/c63+amg">Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG</a> weren't hardcore enough, the folks in Stuttgart are working on an even hotter Black Series version of Merc's <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/m3">BMW M3</a> killer.<br />
<br />
The bulgier fender flares you see here won't be the only visual upgrades - our spies tell us that a new front spoiler will be on deck, as well as a revised rear diffuser with some Formula One-inspired cues. This development car still uses the old front fascia not found on the new-for-2012 car, but we'll probably see the updated headlamps and LED running lights as part of the new package.<br />
<br />
The automaker's 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 will still be the powerplant of choice, current intelligence reports suggest we can expect about 510 horsepower on tap - 29 more ponies than the already-potent C63 with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/04/2010-mercedes-benz-c63-amg-w-p31-development-package-review-road-test/">P31 Development Package</a>. That grunt runs through Mercedes-Benz's seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission, and even with the added Black Series bits, we'd expect that a few pounds have been shaved off of the AMG's curb weight.<br />
<br />
Our spies even suggest that a C63 AMG Black Series Coupe is in the works, and it will bow shortly after the sedan's official debut. Consider that a proper successor to the shockingly great <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-amg-clk63-black-edition/">CLK63 AMG Black Series</a> that debuted in 2007.<br />
