Am I crazy or do the C63 Coupes in this video have wider fenders then stock?

I've been watching this video over and over an unhealthy amount of times. I'm not exactly sure, but it seems like this car has wider fenders then stock. Its subtle because the fenders do flow into the body nicely, but the car does overall seem more aggressive.

Are we actually looking at the next black series or some kind of R variant?

Very interesting

I viewed the vid just once pausing along the way and in my eyes the fenders look the same as the production C205 C63, so I began then looking for other differences and unless I'm mistaken the differences I noticed were rear tail spoiler, side skirts and front lower splitter.

The other one I noticed again unless I'm mistaken is the rear brake calipers...

So you may be onto something there, maybe this is a different variant

Also another point this vid actually merges different versions in it, take note at around 0.43-0.51 it's a regular non AMG coupe rather than the C63 just to confuse people even more LOL

It was already announced, w205 c63 coupes do have wider rear fenders than regular c class coupes.

Ok guys, I think I may have answered my own question. I believe they are indeed testing something with wider fenders. Take a look at this wagon spyvid. Clearly much larger fenders and wheel/tire combo. The style of the wider fenders is also similar to the coupe in that first video, a sort of short rounded step.

If my memory serves me correct, the W204 Black Series also had the W204 wagon as a test bed with massive tacked on fenders...

Something is being developed, but I'd say were still atleast a year out from finding out what it will become. Maybee not the Black Series name, but something. The title of the video even implies its just a test bed for an E63. Anything is possible. But since I *think* we are seeing it on both a coupe and wagon, that says to me some kind of C63 special variant

Not wanting to burst your bubble here guys but this footage appears to be from when they were still testing the coupe before they even officially unveiled it I believe, It just still has some extra coverage on it.

Yes. Over an inch wider and track is 1.8 inches wider. It seems Mercedes listened to the ppl saying it needed to look tougher, bravo!
