Post And just think...

And just think too that it will (its coming in a year or two anyways) have the new 571 HP with 664 lb/ft of torque all-new DI bi-turbo V-8 AMG just introduced, so it will be even alot faster than it already is!

AMG will probably add some special features since its the SLS to elevate it even further above whats available for the S and SL classes so maybe over 600 HP and 700 lb/ft torque for all 2012 model SLS cars!

And lets not forget AMG is probably already working out the details for maybe a 2013 release for a Black Series SLS.... a special bi-turbo DI V-8 with over 600 HP and 700 lb/ft of torque makes great sense for this top model....it will be for sure just insanely fast...far faster than anything the current N/A 6.2 liter V-8 could ever dream of.....

The future of Benz looks brighter than ever it seems ....

I dunno... With the low weight of the SLS a light NA engine might just do it more justice. Turbo always introduces lag, and that's exactly what you (me for sure) don't want in a super sportscar.

I guess I'd take the NA 6,2l V8 if I was given the choice, just like I prefer the V8K over the TTV12 now.
