Thats going to be hard to do but I hope you're right. The headlight assembly and front facia on the new C series is more aggressive than the former (and one used on the CLK Black) so you very well may be correct. Looks fantastic in the pictures already.

Looks good.

Is the "7 Speed - Speed Shift" gearbox a dual clutch?

C63 AMG Black Series Confirmed for Canada in 2012 | beyond.ca Car Blog

Several members on our car forums were recently contacted by their Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealers and told their 2013 C63 Coupe AMG Black Series waiting list spot had to be confirmed for a contest run by Mercedes-Benz Canada. The car has not been officially announced yet, but a few members have been digging for information from their AMG sales reps and we’ve been able to piece it all together to figure out exactly what’s going on!

Here’s what we know so far about the fourth Black Series car. It will arrive in Canada in 2012 as a 2013 model. The car will be powered by the M156 (6.2L V8) with P31 upgrade (SLS internals) producing over 500hp, 620Nm torque and will be ECU limited to 300km/h. All that power will be delivered to the 19″ AMG forged wheels via the new AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed transmission with wet startup clutch. The car with feature adjustable coilover suspension and rear locking differential, much like its CLK63 Black Series predecessor. MSRP is expected to be just over $100,000. There were rumors that the upcoming Black Series car was going to break tradition and be launched as a sedan but it looks like it will be a 2 seater coupe–for now.

The official announcement of the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series will be in July, likely at the Nurburgring track for the German Grand Prix. The C63 Black Series will only be sold through AMG Performance centers, but if you’re still on the fence it is already too late as all Canadian allocations have been spoken for. One forum member that tried to put a deposit down was told they were too late and all the allocations were taken.

To celebrate the second Black Series vehicle available in Canada, AMG will be holding a random draw for one lucky C63 AMG Coupe Black Series customer and their guest to attend the F1 GP in Germany to preview the car. The sales representative will also be joining as a Canadian ambassador. The contest closes June 30, and the winner be announced in early July.
