clk63 will be ridiculous but none the less, fun car to drive. if amg decides to leave it as is, thats 148 hp more! :v probably low 11's or high 10 1/4 mile times and a z06 killer. m6...ha!

I dont think it will be low 11s car! I predict high 11 low 12s. And i doubt it will touch Z06.

That fits with the w221 coming out Jan and the AMG 2008, sell a few s550's to clients who would like an AMG but are desperate for the new model then hit them again for an AMG 12 months later
Dealer said that that there would be no turbo or supercharged AMG model, only the 6.3 nancy asspirated engine 517bhp and only 369lbft ? torque (s55 had 516lbft, s600 590lbft, s65 738lbft) this will be detuned even further for the lower models
Bah humbug

Thats why I think when the S class comes with the V8 engine it will be NA and we wont see the turbo charged version till the new SL comes out...

From the inteview u posted it does seem MB will be going the turbo charged way but for now the S class AMG will be naturally aspirated...
