So far shown only as a coupe, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Black Series is one vicious yet surprisingly compliant factory special; we know, as we recently spent a day thrashing one around Laguna Seca (more to come on that soon). Now, however, the boffins at AMG appear to be working on an Estate...

The BMW M3 has long held the top spot on the affordable luxury sport coupe hierarchy, and for good reason. The latest M3, though not much like its predecessors, continues that heritage with tremendous performance and sharp handling. But it's no longer as solidly perched; rivals like the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe are rapidly climbing. In fact, the 2012 C 63 very nearly knocks the M3 from its spot, falling short only in a few small areas of performance--and surpassing it in others. Though it doesn't adopt the new twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 found in much of AMG's newest vehicles, the...

2012 Mercedes DTM AMG C-Coupe: 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show
Like its recently-unveiled Audi and BMW counterparts, the 2012 Mercedes DTM AMG C-Coupe is built around a carbon fiber monocoque, finned like a mutant manta ray, and powered by a 500-horsepower 4.0-liter V-8 engine. We want one. Unfortunately, the roughly 2,300-pound (with driver) DTM AMG C-Coupe...

2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series Live Photos: 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show
When we took the wheel of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe on the Circuito Monteblanco in Spain earlier this year, we knew AMG had something special on its hands. Far more focused and capable on track, it is a true competitor to the BMW M3. The Black Series takes the car to yet another level of...

2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe First Drive
Fighting for a top spot in the affordable sports coupe market means one thing: measuring up the BMW M3. That's been the game for decades now, and it hasn't changed with the latest iteration, despite the newest model's departure from much of the past M3's formula. In fact, the departure has been so...

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe Gets Some Action...Movie
Mini-films are a favorite of the high-end luxury brands, particularly the German ones. This film skips a lot of the kitsch and awkwardness common to most of the genre and offers a nine-minute action/thriller in its place. Dubbed "Drive & Seek," the mini-movie follows a lead character as he...

The mere mention of the words Black Series will either get your blood pumping or instill the fear within you, the latter being the case typically if you’re a BMW M or Audi RS owner. This is because the Black Series title is only applied to a very select series of models, all of which can best be described as grenades on wheels. You see, the Black Series cars are essentially upgraded versions of the already high-performance AMG models from Mercedes-Benz, which most will agree already approach the limits of what you can call street-legal. In the past we’ve seen Black Series versions...

C63 AMG Wagon Pegs Want-Meter, Paces Grand Prix
There is something oddly appealing about high-performance station wagons. It must have something to do with the fundamental contradictions they embody. Station wagons, after all, are kid-and-dog haulers, right? Yet here we are, with a 556-hp Cadillac wagon with a manual transmission, and it may...
