It was tucked neatly into this article about the new S63.

The M157 motor was the one I was really excited about....bet gas prices killed it....(&)(*&(*&(_*&!!!!!

Further new pictures, owing to David, of the new s-class with AMG engine. After newer information the M156 E63 well-known from the ML 63 AMG however not blocked and also M 157 E 60 aluminium will not appear in the W221, since the development 6.0 litres of the V8-BiTurbo was stopped. Probably it concerns thus the M275 E 65 aluminium (V12 BiTurbo with 612 HP) or around S 55 AMG with M113 E 55 ML (however a raised achievement). With the Facelift of the SL in March 2006 also the SL does not become 55 AMG by that

They could have at least put it on the right side.

It's wild...we do everything but tuck our cars in at night.....and the testers beat the F outta them. Look at that thing...safe to say there are Burger King bags all over the passenger floor.

Looks kinda lame to me...just an opinion.... Looks like a revamped Camry/Avalon...take your pick. Looks cheap, plasticky and of course overpriced!

Is that a rollbar in the car or an optical illusion?

a few...
me too.

I don't really get why they have the hood emblem but then they have a flat badge on the top of the grill. Anyone else notice that? Kinda weird in my opinion.

Although I do like the wheels and the exhaust, along with the door mirrors. I think they did a good job from what I can see. The AMG bodykit looks a little more aggressive too which is a nice touch
