Guess they didn't teach you math in your community college.
5439cc's does not round up any way you put it.

"This handbuilt 5.4L wonder is an all-aluminum design, replete with matched pistons and connecting rods, hand-balanced crankshaft, modular camshafts, and topped with three-valve-per-cylinder heads. A tweaked ECU and high-flow fuel injectors result in 342 hp at 5500 rpm, with torque coming in at 376 lb-ft at 2500 rpm"
So 5.5 right
, using what math? I don't know. If you're going to own one at least don't talk out your a$$ or make assumptions about a motor based on a badge.
You think the 63 is a 6.3 now too?
And yes Jon, it does make a difference.

In mathematical terms if its over .5 it rounds off to 1.0 But who cares the manufact identifies the 55 motor not 54. Also the 63AMG motors which is really 6.2

You just proved my point with your own stupidity. 6208cc's is even closer , they even made fun of that on Top Gear. Its an Ode to an older 6.3 liter motor dummy. Shows how much you know.

There is a mandatory German Tax law that makes the manufacturer round up 100cc's up, but that DOESN'T change the fact that these motors are infact 5.4 liters and 6.2. End of story Jon. Change the displacement by 100cc's on ANY motor and all a sudden you make more power, it matters.

....Jon, you never cease to amaze me. Do you enjoy the taste of your own foot in your mouth? The 63's badge pays hommage to the good Ole 63's. Where in Fact its a 6.2L AMG hand built motor.

So how does 6208cc round up to 6300cc?

But...they are right in this regard, as the AMG M113 is in actuality a 5.4L not a 5.5L. Just like the Aston Martin V12 is actually a 5.9L motor, even though it's marketed as a 6.0L. Honestly, it's all just nitpicking about accurate rounding. You appear more informed when you know these little details.

No big deal but if they claim false hp like what Ford did with their Cobras back several yrs ago,that was messed up.
