Today is now officially Leaky Monday: first the FT-86 gets its specs revealed by one presentation, now the next-gen Saab 9-3 appears to have been outed by a similar route. The image of the car, grainy and black-and-white as it is, comes to us by way of Swedish outlet SvD via Autoblog. Showing looks similar to the 9-5, but with a shorter, more aggressively sloped nose and a tighter, more fastback-like roofline, the purported next 9-3 looks like it might just be a winner. Unfortunately, Saab has been mostly a loser of late, barely hanging onto continued existence through a memorandum of...

The car you see above purports to be the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series, revealed at a Mercedes-Benz drive event in Le Castellet, France. It certainly looks the part of the Black Series badge, with wider fenders, vents aplenty, new (very lightweight-looking) wheels. Power from the 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V-8 is up 30 horsepower from the regular C63 AMG, rating 487 horsepower with the base package and 517 horsepower with the Performance Package. In the standard C63, 0-60 mph takes 4.3 seconds with the 487-horsepower Performance Package option, so we expect the Black Series to...
