The Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series is sold out, with all 800 models of the powerful Benz now spoken for.

First unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, it was announced that a 650 unit production run was slated for the car, but due to high customer demand and positive public feedback that number was pushed up to 800. The demand from consumers warranted more units, but the long build time of these cars caused the company to make only 800, to ensure deliveries would be made on time.

The Black Series C63 runs with a 6.2L V8 packing 517 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque, and gets 19″ wheels, a special aerodynamics package and AMG sport seats as the notable changes from the regular AMG.
