New V8 Engine?
I read that the next generation w216 CL will get a new V8 engine, replacing the old "500" engine.
They're planning on doing a "550" engine, 5.5 litre N/A producing 388 hp! Do you think that eventually they'll phase out the 500 engines and start putting the 550 engines in?
"ENGINES
The “smallest” CL engine in the CL 500 will be replaced with a new V8 550 engine with 5.5 liter capacity and a power of 388hp. The CL 600 remains unchanged (V12 bi-turbo - 500hp) as well as the AMG model CL 65 AMG with 612hp. The new CL 63 AMG will get a power boost to 500hp, and so it will replace the CL 55 AMG. Rumors say that a diesel hybrid engine could find its way into the next CL-class although not confirmed by Mercedes yet. "
