The new AMG 5.5 Kompressor engine has a Supercharger, hence the "Kompressor" name. It is not a twin turbo.

Rumor has it that Mercdes/AMG has delayed this engine till the latter part of 2002 due to some "Fuel consumption" problems.

No official word yet on engine availbility or pricing on the CL55 with the new engine.

Do you know if this is the same technology Kompressor/Supercharger that is being used on the SLK32 or C32 AMG's?? Or is this technology totally different?

From what I have read, it appears to be the same type of Kompressor setup as the one used on the SLK32 and C32. Lysolm Supercharger with water to air intercoolers.
