the M157 twin-turbo V-8 will provide 563 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Probably why they keep the 63 badge. just my .02 cents.

I hope they do but at a later time. Would give enough time for me to enjoy the SC and not feel behind on a faster G55.

The G-class is here to stay. Nothing comes close.

I would rather have a flat curve than a gazzilion useless hp.

I am sure the sls will get a lot more hp out of the same engine though.

engine looks a lot smaller than the 6.3 and even the old 5.5 kompressed.

makes change

No doubt on the performance gain. Good luck on the real mpg gain.

There are 5 clips of the new engine sound in the AMG private lounge (accelerating, passing, idle, revving and pulling away).

All I can tell is you is that it sounds just like what an AMG should sound like; the deep tone and rumble is there.

Kudos to Benz and AMG.

This is good news. I was interested in 07-08 S65 but may opt for a newer S63 later this year.
