Anyone got connections to AMG??
Anyone heard any gossip on the next generation of V12 Biturbo engines from AMG? Is it going to be a 7 litre? 6.5?
Or is AMG going to stick with the current 6.0 and concentrate on making V8 biturbos?

The 63 and 69 AMGs look likely for the next lineup of cars, one of them will have 700hp.

Wow, found these:

Looks like there'll be a S69, CL69 and SL69! In excess of 675 Bhp.
Plus I read in an article that the CLS65 will debut at the Paris Motor Show in Sept.

Looks like a horsepower arms race, Mercedes against itself.
