5.5 vs 6.3 bi turbo

As stated, both engines have the same HP. The 5.5 is slated for 011 S63 and the 6.3 is for the new SLS. Why?

Any indication the migration of the new BTs to the other AMGs?

yes the new 5.5 will be the the standard AMG engine now. SLS still use the old 63 engine but modified from AMG.

personally i would prefer them to go back to the 55 badge as it makes more sense 5.5 and has history!....

Remember the 6.3 is a normally aspirated, non-turbo engine that has been around for nearly 5 model years now. The SLS was designed around this engine though I wouldn't be surprised if the new 5.5TT is fit into the SLS in the future.

MBZ has indicated that the new 5.5TT will find its way back into the E-Class 212 and the CLS...it's already available in the CL63 and S63.
