The current CLS 63 AMG shares its engine with the previous-generation E 63 AMG and both make 378kW (514hp). If the same arrangement sticks then expect to see a 6.3-litre V8 installed and making 386kW (525hp).

But from my understanding, unlike BMW M division, the AMG division of MB has never utilized the use of a turbo and has just settled with using natural aspiration.
However, with the stricter Euro 6 emission regulations and other emission standards elsewhere, AMG may consider turbo-charging (or supercharging like the MB Kompressor engines).
Anyways, we'll just have to wait-and-see. As for the design, I do hope it's at least the same or better than the current design. Hopefully, MB would be able to do well on this one

i think the story was with all the 55 series supercharged engines, suddenly they dropped everything and went to the current 63 series, and they said after evaluations, they are going to drop superchargers and use turbos instead. but they never gave a time line, and imho the 6.2L NA engines are like a "bridge" during the transition, just not sure for how long?
