To answer your question, no there are no supercharger kits available for the V12. A cutom application would be difficult as well because there's not a lot of room in the engine bay due to the size of the V12.

Don’t spend all that cash on a modified V12. Just order the new SL65, it’s supposed to be a monster supercharged V12 AMG from factory.

The SL65 is actually twin turbocharged, not supercharged ;0)

You are correct; I was just thinking of the power output not the mechanics behind the power delivery. I believe the SL65, based on what I’ve read so far, will test the limits if not exceed the so called super-cars now in the market. I for one am looking forward in purchasing one of this beast once the dust settles in the needless markups of the overpriced “must be the first in the block to have” market.

Yea, when four year old SL600 can be had for $50k, I'm waiting for an 04'.....
