Two images revealing the car were also released. What is special about it is that it produces 1000HP!We have seen such an extreme tuning by the experts on their S-Class Diamond Edition.

    The Black Edition will be produced in only 6 examples, which is a fact that gives it even more exclusivity. As you can see from the couple of images, the tuned S63 has received MANSORY-made carbon fiber bodywork.

    How About New Exterior?

    MANSORY Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe Black Edition Rear ViewThe carbon-body was painted in pearl grey matt paint, which in my opinion looks very exuberating. But what does the pack add? MANSORY added air control blades on the front and rear axle in order to ensure that there is more downforce and optimized cooling for the drivetrain and brakes. It is obvious that there are new side skirts and fenders as well as a rear-wing.22-inch wheels always come in play, especially when the horses are 1000. This time, the added wheels are one-piece SPIDER coupled with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires. The rubbers measure 255/30 ZR22 and 295/25 ZR 22 at the front and rear, respectively.

    How About More Potent Engine?

    Here are the numbers: after the engine tuning this S63 Black Edition generates 1,000HP (735 kW) and a limited 1,400 Nm (1,033 lb-ft) of torque, allowing it to achieve a 0-62 km/h acceleration time in 3.2 seconds! The top speed has been limited to 300 km/h.

    And How About More Luxurious Interior?

    Although there are no images of the interior, MANSORY said that it will be hand-made. And this means that we have to expect luxury in all its variants: starting from the steering wheels and ending with the floor mats.We do wait impatiently for the reveal of the Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe Black Edition by MANSORY at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Stay tuned for more information and pictures.

  • Porsche Boxster and 911 Carrera Black Editions Get Detailed

    Porsche 911 Carrera and Boxster Black Editions have been shown for the first time more than two weeks ago. Now it is time for the exclusive car company to reveal some more of the cars by releasing additional pictures. They immediately grabbed my attention, as I am sure they will with yours, too.

    I find the combination of all-black exterior and interior is fantastic. The aim of Porsche was to emphasize the timelessness and elegance of the models. Both Black Editions are built around the same philosophy and share many features in common. For instance such are the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module, rain sensor, cruise control, Sport Design steering wheel and automatically dimming rear-view mirrors.

    Posche Boxster Black Edition

    Starting with the cabriolet Boxster, it powered by the standard 2.7 litre flat engine which generates 265 hp (195 kW). The car is distinguished by its black treatment, but also by its exclusive features.

    SEE ALSO: Porsche Releases Boxster and 911 Carrera Black Editions

    The car features wind deflector, which helps in the management of undesirable turbulence. It runs on 20-inch Carrera Classic wheels and lights-up its way with bi-xenon headlights that are fitted with PDLS (Porsche Dynamic Light System).

    The interior can show-off with two-zone air conditioning and heated seats, as well as a Sound Package Plus. The soft top and rollover protection bar have been also made black.

    Porsche 911 Carrera Black Edition

    This one can be ordered in coupe or cabriolet variant, each of which will be powered by a 3.4 liter flat unit, generating 350 hp (257 kW). The 911 Carrera is available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, and runs on 20-inch 911 Turbo wheels. LED headlights combined with the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+) are lighting-up its way.

    The interior of this particular model features heated sports seats for the driver and passenger, Bose Surround Sound System, telephone module and front and rear Park Assist with reversing camera.

    Pricing

    Boxster Black Edition has a starting price of 59,477 euro, while the price tag for 911 Carrera Black Edition begins at 95,058 euro.

  • Porsche Releases Boxster and 911 Carrera Black Editions

    Two special cars are part of Black Edition series by Porsche: the 911 Carrera and the Boxter models. What do they feature? First to mention is the combination of black exterior and interior. The goal of the company is to highlight the timeless but straightforward elegance of the iconic cars. Both Black Editions share many things in common, but worthy of mentioning are the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module, automatically dimming rear-view mirrors, rain sensor, cruise control and Sport Design steering wheel, which come as a standard.

    Porsche 911 Carrera Black Edition

    As a basis for this one is used the basic model in a coupe or cabrio variant. It is propelled by a 3.4 liter flat unit, which is capable of producing 350 hp (257 kW). Available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, this special edition runs on 20-inch 911 Turbo wheels. Other special features include the LED headlights combined with the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+).

    SEE ALSO: Exclusive: Gemballa Porsche 980 Carrera Mirage GT Black Edition

    Inside, the standard equipment throughout the black interior include heated sports seats for the driver and passenger, Bose Surround Sound System, telephone module and front and rear Park Assist with reversing camera.

    Posche Boxster Black Edition

    This one is as attractive as its sibling, although it is powered by less potent 2.7 litre flat engine that produces 265 hp (195 kW). Unlike the 911 Carrera, the Boxter is offered only in a cabrio variant. And when it comes to soft top and rollover protection bar, the colour concept remains consistent.

    What’s exclusive for this special edition? It features wind deflector, which helps in avoiding undesirable turbulence, 20-inch Carrera Classic wheels and the bi-xenon headlights plus PDLS. Inside, the driver and passenger enjoy a two-zone air conditioning and heated seats, and a Sound Package Plus.
