The Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Is the $125,000 Ultimate C-Class

The AMG 6.2L V8 would likely be forever one of the best sounding non-American big displacement V8 ever. Ferrari NA V8 are smaller displacement & usually higher pitched which resembles F1 engines of the distant past, but the AMG V8 could be mistaken for being American but instead had DOHC instead of OHV.

HEADBOLT ISSUE WAS CORRECTED AFTER 2011. All the facelift c63 are fine!!!

The best sounding AMG ever. No biturbo engine beats this Naturally aspirated sound.

That engine note 😍

Doug is the type of guy to shout into an envelope to send a voicemail

Best sounding AMG ever

I have never read a single one of your articles but I have watched every video you've posted.

Doug the type of guy who gives his uber drivers car a Dougscore

My dad used to be quality control at Mercedes and I remember when he brought this home and was in red and yes it was a black series. Probably the coolest fucking amg I've ever been in and seen

10:30 ASSYST : Active Service SYSTem

I am shocked, the video didn't start with ' TTTTHHHHIISS '

Doug the type of guy to wear two t-shirts and take one off before he goes to bed

The old shape is so much better than the new c63 shape

Always so informative, Doug. Thank you.

Doug the typa guy to live in oak meadows point

I love that we live in a time where a car that does 60 in 3.8 seconds gets only an 8/10

I perfectly understand the grocery bag hook and roof rack mount. I can see someone living in an expensive condo in the city with only one parking spot driving it everyday.

I’ve always been obsessed with the c63. I’m more into the 4 door though because one wouldn’t expect your sedan to sound so amazing.

Doug is the type of guy to upgrade to a station wagon.

AMG's are, by definition, German muscle cars!

Bang on with the score Doug (UK terminology), great vid and that car has always been on my wish list.

I found myself smiling all the way through your road test! That exhaust note made me all fuzzy

A couple other quirks you didn't mention: When you put the traction control in "sport" mode, and put the car in S+ mode, you can perform launch control. You keep your foot on the brake, then turn the mode selector knob all the way to the right past "M", as if you're turning up the music really loud. This won't change the mode to "M" but rather display on the dash a prompt to use launch control. Pull right paddle for yes, left paddle for no. Then launch control as you normally would. Unlike more robust system's like Porsche's though, you only have 7 seconds, or it will auto-cancel. Another thing is that if you turn the traction control fully off by holding the traction control button, it isn't actually "OFF". The car will still butt in by cutting power to the engine if it thinks you're in really deepshit. Some people, learn this the hard way. Let's say you're at an intersection where you have a stop sign, but cross traffic does not. You see a car coming your direction and you wonder if you can make it across before they get to the intersection. You think to yourself, yeah probably not, and decide to wait but then decide you could actually make it. As you might've imagined, you've killed a couple seconds pondering this so you don't have much time, so what do you do? You mash the throttle. Depending on how hard you floor it, the steering angle, and the road surface that you're gripless tires or on, the car might decide it won't let you floor it and cut power, rather than apply brakes. There is away to fully turn it off though: First you take the key and turn it to ignition position 1. (1 tick) Then hold the Call button on the steering wheel and then within a second hold the "OK" button and keep holding both for 5 seconds. This will take you into the maintenance menu. This is generally just so the technician to reset the service indicator. If you scroll through the menu though, you will find an option for "dynamometer mode" If you turn this on, then start the car as normal, absolute all traction control will be off. Why is this hidden away though, and why do you not want to do it? Because it will also turn off all the other driver aids, including ABS! Also one correction. The passenger side seat isn't "fully" electronically controlled. You can only control the tilt of the seat back and the rear height of the bottom. To move it backwards and forwards, there is a manually lever on the bottom left. You can even confirm this if you pull the lever on the back of the driver vs. the passenger seat. The driver's seat (at least in cars with back seats will automatically move forward. The passenger seat on the other hand will not. The headrest is also manually adjustable, as well as the front height of the seat bottom using the big dial towards the front.

I worked at the factory in Bremen at the time these were built and installing the hook in the trunk was one thing i did! :D

That is the best way to give a presentation of a car! Great job

styling 6/10 i think it deserves 10/10

Doug the type of guy to stop at every red light in GTA V

Doug the type of guy to look like a dad and drive like a dad but not actually be a dad.

last good looking c class

Its weird. I watch doug's videos as they come out, but once in a blue moon i just go on this insane marathon of all of his videos

The power seats variation has to do with options. Mercedes cars have three types of seat controls: manual, semi-powered and finally fully powered with memory. The semi-powered seats have the control buttons for tilting the seat on the side of the seat, while the manual lever to push the seat front and back is under the front side of the seat. This way all the controls for the seat are close to each other. And they save up on cables and nice panels to put it all the way on the door. The fully powered seats with memory have their controls on the door, easy to see and use. So all that told, what Mercedes did in this 130.000 dollar car is putting a luxury seat left and a cheaper seat right to save production that would cost them around the value of a ham sandwich.

That moment when you realise a Chevy Bolt has a better Doug Score than the C63 Black Series

11:20 when you find out there’s no bumper to bumper warranty

Holy fkin hell, that sound is on another level, it is just something else. One of the best sounding hands down.

LOL Doug's face at 11:21

Hard to think only a few years ago Mercedes were pumping out AMG's like this. Now they're all photocopied versions of each other :/

FINALLY DOUG!! We get to listen to the car your reviewing! You always talk about how good/bad some cars sound but never show the viewers. PLEASE PLEASE keep that up!

Doug!!! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! ❤️💜💙💙💜❤️

Doug is the type of guy to wear socks with sandals

Review a Koenigsegg! I'm sure it has A LOT OF quirks... 😃

Thanks for the video. great content.

Nice review, Doug. BTW the SLK Black Series that you’ve mentioned got a few special things. One is that you can’t open the roof. Even it’s in the roadster class ;)

Doug the type of guy to call milk "cereal sauce"

Doug the type of guy to fart in a car and lock the windows

Your vivid description in this video exceeded expectations!

Just saw one of the merc black series on the road, hood vents, fender flares and all, it was quite a sight!!

Doug the type of guy to read an owner's manual instead of a novel.

He didnt wanna “hellcat” it up

I had one in red and the engine is amazing. Sounds good and has loads of torque like you said. However the suspension is too hard, and makes the car unsuitable for a daily driver, which is disappointing given it has the option of 4 seats and a boot.

I’ll always remember getting a ride in the back roads in one of these. The speed and agility is awesome and like you mentioned those seats are very comfortable too. I️ was warned beforehand that it could be a rough ride but the blend of luxury and performance is accomplished nicely. Even as a passenger, this car is a very special driving experience.

Doug the type of guy to review every C-Class but the CLK GTR.

11:20 This face....hahahaha....is it worth to be used for a gif loop or not??

Props to you for recording the beginning in the rain while standing outside!

Being a bit of a fan watching your U Tube videos I enjoy them immensely. I have a fairly extensive automotive background that started working at Grand Prix SSR. A Ferrari, Lamborghini and Alpha dealership when back in the early 1980s back when i loved on Long Island. We did a full restoration of 002, the first production unit ever offered to the public. To shorten this note after noticing some of the rare cars that I know that you have reviewed I can not help but wonder why you have never done a review on the 2003 Audi RS6. I am located is the Atlanta suburbs and between me and my friend we have 2. One stock, my friends and one modified to a six speed manual with over 660 hp and 700feet pounds of torque. Both cars are in excellent condition and are both Avus Silver with Black leather interiors. There were less then 1200 of these units imported to the United States and Audi informs me 291 units with this color combination. If there is interest in you doing a review on these amazing high performance sedans please let me know. We would love to offer our cars for your video. Chris Schreiber

Doug is the type of guy who closes his windows after farting

That wing looks like a pep boys special

Doug the type of guy to search google on bing

My favourite Mercedes of all times and one of the best.🔥🔥🔥

Doug the type of guy to carry organic local beeswax chapstick

Doug is the type of guy who wears a backpack, shorts, a smiley 😊 face teeshirt, and sneakers with lights in the heals to a parent teacher conference- then keeps the teacher for 5 minutes longer to give HER the Doug score

very amusing video's! great style of demonstrating cars.

This is the funniest doug review. Was laughing the whole time. Great vid!

Doug- You should make videos on Saabs! They have some crazy quirks and features and they're some of my favorite cars, you should try to find a Saab 900 SPG pre 1990's, or a Saab 9-3 Viggen which is another one of their sport models. Saabs brought turbocharging to the mainstream and it would be really really cool to see a video on them by you because they have so many cool quirks. Calling it now, the newer Saab 9-3's have the coolest cup holders you'll see in a car. Nightpanel is also not something you'd want to overlook.

Doug the type of person to be driving this car and say “ahhh mushy”

Best Sounding V8 EVER!!!😍😍

Can you make a review on the Citroen C4 Picasso? It’s one of the best cars I’ve been in, stands out from all others

every time I sit down for lunch and turn on RU-vid, Doug is here to entertain me with his antics. Thanks Doug.

ASSYST = Active Service SYSTem :)

Great car , Best part is the exhaust sound from the engine, I agree with you Doug the wing looks cheap ,a small lip on the boot lid would look better !

Wow what an incredible review 10/10

Doug, the kind of guy to use grocery bag hooks.

Doug is the kinda guy to make masterful car reviews on RU-vid, shows us all of it's weird quirks and features, then drives it, and finally gives us the Doug score. Way to go Doug!

"Pep Boys Special!!!" I laughed so hard I fell off my treadmill. Made my week. (The laughing, not falling off my treadmill.)

I wanted to hear about the standard c class I’ve been waiting for him to review this class car for the longest

13:53 monstrous exhaust, you're welcome

Doug the type of guy to not start his video with "THIS" and have us all triggered

alcantara with red stitching on the center of the seats as well as door panels was actually orderable in regular c classes. my C204 C250 got it as well

I love it when Doug goes like, in case you wanted to go grocery shopping in your one of 77, 550 hp Mercedes’ c class black series

How many times is Doug going to say “this is the craziest AMG”. This has to be at least the 3rd time in the last 4 months.

Doug is the type of guy to carry dry Oatmeal in the pockets at school and eat it at his breaks

In most sports cars if not all, you press the traction control button it shuts off half of the TC, which is exact what that sport mode is. To fully turn off TC you'll have to hold it as well.

Lol Doug is hilarious he said “pep boys special” 😂😂😂😂 are they even still around??? Haven’t seen one of them in like 10 years

OMG! Doug started the video with "When", instead of "This" o:

I`ve been waiting for this review for a long time! And I want you to review the 2009 SL65 AMG BLACK SERIES

I like mostly all the AMG black series models, aiming to get one eventually and will pick over Lambo and Ferrari In my opinion

Doug puts his pants on both legs at a time. Cuz quarks...

Doug is the type of guy to be called ‘Daddy Doug’ by Hoovies Garage

Doug the type of guy to lower a prostitutes doug score for being too loose.

Here and now in these comments. I am confirming it This is my dream car Before i die i will own it And i will edit this comment when i do.

Nice review Doug, but you forgot to mention the AMG emblem on the center of the wheel!

Doug! You should make videos talking about experiences you've had while reviewing some of these cars. I'm sure your stories have some weird quirks and features that are worth sharing. And also can you please give me credit for this idea if you do decide to do it?

"One of those regular AMG schmuks" Hahaha.. DeMuros car reviews just get funnier every time!😆

The thunder being heard during the exhaust test was so fitting

You need to review that 800 HP Porsche!!! Now that's wild!

I just love ur videos.I get to know about cars without eve seeing them in real life.I can argue with ppl facts about cars which they own and they don't even know about it. all this without spending a dollar

Doug is the type of a guy to test a track weapon like the C63 AMG Black Series and talk about its washer jets.

The seat controls are fairly common in Europe where fully electric seats are an option even on e-class models. You either get fully manual seats, part electric, full electric driver and part electric passenger or full electric driver and passenger.

Head bolt issue only pertains to 2008 to some 2011 models. These engines are bulletproof even when not replacing the heads bolt on earlier models as it was still a rare failure
