From one of Germany;s most repsected auto mags.

The beginning the new GL class (X164) makes to the Detroiter engine show 2006 is pointed. It be based on the new m-class is however clearly longer (scarcely over 5m) and very much trimmed on Offroad.
With the opening of the new Mercedes museum in Stuttgart Untertuerkheim the new CL (C216 becomes; Coupé on basis of the new s-class) presents. It has further 2 doors and with the new M273 V8 generation as well as the V12 is equipped. In the spring it gives then a Facelift for the e-class (some change outside and inside as well as new V8 engine M273 and E 63 AMG). Besides the SBC brake is replaced by a conventional brake with SBC similar functions. The SL receives likewise a Facelift, however the SBC keeps brake until its successor 2012 on the market comes. 2006 will likewise give it a limited edition of the CLK DTM Cabrios. It has the new M156 E 63 V8-Sauger of AMG with 510 HP. This engine is implemented gradually into all series. Also into the at the beginning of 2007 appearing new C-class sedan (W204). It is then equipped and ordered also with PreSafe. The petrol engines receive then a Benzindirekteinspritung. Besides they could have a starter generator, which makes the generator redundant and it made possible, which the engine at traffic light stops switches off automatically. The 4-Zylinder M271 generation is changed over later by compressor to turbo. C 200 K is to carry 175 HP and C out 230 K 200 HP for the time being. In the autumn then the 4,55m appears long t-model (S204)
2008 appear then the small Offroader (rather Onroader) on C-class the t-model been based. It has 4matic. The engine pallet of the SUV built in Bremen begins only with V6 Motoren.Mercedes wants from the small Offroader approximately 40,000 pieces per year set off at prices off approx.. 36,000 EUR.

(v.l.n.r new GL class, new C-class, new C-class t-model, CLK DTM AMG Cabrio, 2x of new CL, C-class Offroader)

I think you are misinterpreting what that is saying..... plus its grammatically all wrong so it looks editted.

The stuff I read from Germany (Der Spiegel) said the 63 was going to go in the CLS class with the C55/CLK output pumped up to 420 HP via a new 8 cylinder 32 valve direct injection with VVT system and enhanced exhaust.

the write up on the new S class in Motor Trend mentions the upcoming C63......

You guys are dreaming if you think they will drop the AMG equipeed E/CLS/SL/S engine into the C-class. We should be thrilled with 420.

I'm with you... I highly doubt they would give the c-class a 510 hp powerplant.

NO NO NO !! You can't pay the price of a W203/4 and get Ferrari power and Maybach luxury !! C55 is designed to compete with M3 ; if E90 M3/4 gets 420hp, C55 will be 10%+/-
The 510hp version of the 6.3 engine is for CLS63 and E63
Stop dreaming and save bucks for a 500hp whatever not a C. :p

420 HP + 10% = 462HP..... tuned down version of the 510HP 63 motor....


"The obligatory AMG version will be powered by a 408-hp, 5.5-liter V-8. Also possible is a limited-edition, 476-hp C63 AMG, which would compete with the likes of the Audi RS4."

"The drivetrain will debut in the ML63 AMG, which will be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. After that, expect a C63, an E63, an R63, a CLK63, an SLK63, an S63 and a CL63. We expect the A-Class will be immune."

I thing a lot is lost in translation from "C class sedan" to the actual 4 door CLS coupe. They are throwing new heads on the old block. That is enough for me.

I remember the days back in the 80s when the Lamborghini Countach 5000 S (pre-anniversary edition) made 380 hp and that was a supercar figure.... The Ferrari Testarrosa used to struggle to get 6.0 second 0-60 times.. It's interesting how the AMG cars of today annihilate those times...
Eric...

I thought C55 owners here already know , we don't need 462hp to kill
a RS4 And, if all the 'cheap' models get 462-510hp, wonder
what engine MB will put inside the SL

Do you think they could use the e55 enigine without the supercharger and a little boost in compression?

You're joking right??

The current C55 motor IS essentially the E55 motor without the supercharger. It does have a higher compression ratio (11.0:1, I believe).
