More Rumour and speculation on new AMG engines for SLK and C

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/12/r...-liter-v8-for/

Readers Digest version: SLK AMG gets a NA 5.5, C Couple AMG gets NA 5.5, and the C Saloon AMG will keep the current engine, which means the current designation of C63 will remain.. yay..

Again.. rumour and speculation..

That is great news because we will see more hardware development with prices coming down.

Not sure what to think about this

I thought the SLK AMG would get more than 422 horsepower (If this is true). What the heck will they give the C class AMG then? I wonder if we'll see Renntech and Kleemann developing blower kits for these

I guess rather than place the C Coupe AMG BS way up in to SL65 territory, they might push the C AMG's down to make room. By the same logic the suggestion that the C63 AMG sedan gets to keep the monster 6.2 implies there will certainly not be a Black Series of the sedan.

Black Series are reserved for coupes.
