How Many C63 Black Series Shipping to U.S.
Does anyone know the estimated number of Black Series reaching the U.S.? I heard 97 (from AMG Private Lounge) and Car & Driver says under 100 (http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...e-black-series).
|
~70 for the US, ~30 for Canada, give or take a few. 97 is probably the North American total number.
|
This is the exact question I posed to an AMG representative last week. He said that MB cannot officially comment on production numbers. A bit silly really.
In any event, I will seek this information again from anyone who looks like a MB official at the AMG preview night this Thursday for the NYC Auto Show. I will revert back to you chaps. |
Thanks Rage2.
Langone: Yes, please do. Thanks a bunch. My VIN says 065 at the end so I'm assuming its the 65th one. |
Will they continue to make the Black series after 2012? Or will it be like the CLK Black, just 2008?
|
This is the only production run for this car 2012

If it's anything like the CLK Black, VIN's are all over the map. My last 3 digits is in the 500's, there's definately not 500+ cars coming to North America.
I bet it will be difficult to fall asleep tonight when you are flushed with anticipation about picking her up tomorrow. I suggest you close you eyes and count M3's as they are passed on your drive home. |
700s here

Nexlogic...75 is the confirmed number of C63 BS coupes coming into the US market. There are no plans in bringing in any more than the ones that are on the way.
|
I think it is 30 for Oz.
|
Just to confuse things even more - I've heard chatter that was attributed to AMG people to the effect of multiple-year production run, etc.

Couldn't resist. I tried. Sorry. Anyways, I have always said that there seems to be a lot more C63's here in Canada than in the States based on sighting reports. That would seem to be continuing with the BS also. Up here in the frozen tundra we represent around 10% of the NA population, yet we get a quarter of the cars. :zoom: |

Wow. That is rare. Even just 75 is rare. Did you end up picking one up?

I heard the total production numbers worldwide are 500 units - the same number of CLK BS made. Yet they are bringing substantially less to the US. Total CLK BS to come to the US was 367. Guess they realized there wasn't that much demand here and more worldwide ?

[quote=604 C63;5169629]Wouldn't that imply that you were us to begin with?
I really did try to get an official number from the AMG folks in US HQ. But they said that it is against MB policy to quote the number. Of the 6 Mars Red cars, how many have NO REAR SEATS AND NO AERO PACKAGE? I was told my red car is the only one so equipped in the US. |

On the bright side, based on our window stickers, I don't believe the track pack's diff cooler was installed in Germany, rather, installed at the VPC once it cleared customs. Which means anyone who didn't order the B25 track pack should be able to have the diff cooler retrofitted.
