Poll 5.5L twin Turbo or 63-NA ?
5.5 liter twin turbo or current 63 series motor with 563 HP using parts from the SLS ? They just bosted the C class so they have to raise the CLS, SL, S class motors somewhat.
"The extra power is largely garnered thanks to a few engine parts cribbed from the new SLS AMG supercar. The forged pistons, connecting rods, and lightweight crankshaft come straight from the SLS, and help increase the engine’s power and responsiveness. Although the engines are quite similar, the SLS’s V-8, at 563 hp, remains the most powerful of the pair"

So where does the SLS get mixed in? Mercedes-Benz says it comes in the form of the forged pistons inside the 6.3-liter V-8 engine, adopted together with new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft that together cut almost 7 pounds of rotating and reciprocating mass from the engine's internals. This makes the engine freer-revving, more willing to spin and helps reduce power lost parasitically. Enhanced engine management helps extract even more power, pushing performance further as well.
