I hope you didn't hold your breath for this one. Nothing new on the surface except for a matte carbon fiber cover instead of a glossy one...

From what I could see, airboxes, throttle body and intercoolers looked the same as the M275.

Its has new turbos, direct injection along with the 7 speed transmission. It may appear the same on the outside, but those three changes probably have the tuners holding their breath waiting to see what they can do to it.

The cold air intake tubes appear to be a little less restrictive.


BTW, thanks for the pictures!

Are you 100% sure it has direct injection ?

The official press release doesn't confirm it. But it does say it has ECO stop/start, which I thought came only from direct injection.

http://www.windingroad.com/articles/...benz-sl65-amg/

But most blogs and onlines magazines are saying direct injection.

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...mg_first_look/

So no, I'm not 100% sure.

Depreciation
Only 100K in 3 years? I was thinking $ 120K....

I asked a friend of mine who is an engine builder at Mercedes-AMG, and he confirms the following:

The M279 is NOT direct injected, the main difference between the M275 and the M279 is the new turbochargers, new exhaust manifolds and better emissions tuning. Also has a new alternator to support the eco start/stop mode. The engine also had a lot of fine tuning. Everything else is the same.

Thanks. that's what I wanted to hear.

I wonder if they have modified the notoriously crappy intercooling system
