WTF!!!! Benz unveils C63 in NYC with twin turbo 5.5???

Guy at the New York auto show was not even there for the C63 as he was waiting for the unveil of a special SLS. He slips in this info and it just shocked me.

Trying to think positive in that Benz may offer you guys the option of EITHER. The big daddy, or the twin turby.

Here's hoping. Story below.

After searching the crap out of it, think I got it now. It was the c55 coupe with a n/a 5.5. Basically the twin Turb engine without turbs. Sorry for the heart attack on this.

I was seriously contemplating getting the 2012 CLS63 as my next car but now knowing that the 2012 E63 will have the 5.5TT I'm all about the E

I drove the 2011 E63 around the track and loved it so now knowing it will get the twin blower motor makes it that much more appealing over the CLS which did not feel as tight as the E
