The scorching AMG version of the E-Class makes a drastic change by ditching the current supercharged engine for a freer revving 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V8. The engine, built entirely in-house by AMG, features high-strength silicon-aluminum alloy, four valves per cylinder, a variable intake manifold and valve timing. It is rated at 503 hp and 465 lb-ft-which is a gain of 34 hp but a loss of 51 lb-ft compared to the 5.5-liter V8 in the previous AMG E-Class.

so is it the E63 AMG now?

Also, I couldn't make out what the badge on the front fender says now. It obviously can't be V8 Kompressor... although it looks too long to be just plain V8

I think that batch says 6.3 AMG now, that's what it says on both the CLS63 & CLK63.

On the CLS 63 :

Very nice. Not a big fan of station wagons but if it had 500 hp I would take it

Gojirra99

The station wagon is still ugly, but the sedan is fine, but I don't like the cosmetic changes made for the facelift, so now I 'd take the CLS63 over the E63 easy . . .

Ramon

Nice... I need to get myself one of those someday. Any word on how much that motor will put out in the S, SL and CL?

AJL0365

you could get the dodge magnum SRT-8, not as much power as the E63 but its still powerful, when u get it, tell them Ashley Looper from Cornelius NC thats works at Lake Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge referred you, i get paid extra for that I got bills to pay

I test drove the CLS 55 AMG last week, that car is insane, 500HP or something like that. Feels like a rocketship and stops on a dime.. Price is . ..

Gojirra99

Not sure about the S or the CL, but I think I've read from MBWorld that there won't be a SL63 until the next redesign (which won't be until 2012, from a German source).
They already unveiled the 2007 SL55 with increased power on the supercharged 5.5 litre with the facelift.

the current sl will stay till 2012?! isn't that a bit..... way too dated by then?!

BigVIPness

Just take a look at how long the other SL's were around

Richie

I'm sure Kleeman will make a supercharger for this engine for the people who crave even more power.

Gojirra99

The previous SL lasted 12 years I think, so if the current SL will indeed stay til 2012 as reported by that German website I saw, it will only be 9 years, a shorter cycle than the previous one already
