"When the top-of-the-line Mercedes coupe is not enough, you get the AMG. If the AMG is not enough then you have the Black Series. All the AMG, plus the motor from the SLS AMG supercar, as well as handling and aerodynamics to make it pliable. It simply does not get any better than this."—Official description[1]
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series - abbreviated as "M-B C63" and also known as "Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series"[2] - is a rear-wheel drive sports car by Mercedes-Benz.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 4 as part of the June Meguiar's Car Pack and all subsequent main series titles.
Synopsis[]
The C 63 AMG was introduced in 2012 as the fourth model of the Black Series, a line of track-oriented high-performance cars based on existing AMG models. The C 63 AMG received numerous upgrades, most notably a 510 hp (380 kW) engine and extensively modified bodywork to improve handling. It was available in 2012 as part of a limited production run of 800 units.[3]
Drivetrain[]
It is powered by a M 156 codenamed V8 engine with 6.2L displacement. It comes with forged internals, a lighter crankshaft and a new engine control unit that increase power to 510 hp (380 kW) at 6800 rpm and torque to 457 ft·lb (620 N·m) at 5000 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip differential with fan-aided cooling.
Platform[]
The bodywork has been altered by a front splitter in combination with a boot spoiler lid and diffusor, which generate more downforce for improved driving stability and cornering. It also comes with coil-over suspension and forged alloy 19" wheels that reduce unsprung weight to further improve handling. Overall, the Black Series has a moderate weight of 3854 lb (1748 kg) and somewhat nose-heavy chassis as indicated by a weight distribution of (54/46)%.[4]
Variants[]
Horizon Edition[]
The Horizon Edition is an upgraded variant in Forza Horizon 3 featuring a stock Performance Index rating of S1 846, a Speed Skills boost and matte black paint design. It comes with an S1 900 upgrade preset including HRE aftermarket wheels and a Twin Turbo conversion.
It was added into the title as a Horizon Wheelspin prize with the October 2016 update.
Forza Edition[]
The Forza Edition in Forza Motorsport 7 comes with a 30% credits bonus as its primary boost that is doubled for racing at Yas Marina. Its exterior is similar to its Forza Horizon 3 counterpart, although the twin turbochargers were removed in order to comply with its homologated A 675 class tune.
Since the July 2018 update, it can be bought for 295,000 CR via the Buy Cars menu.
