612bhp DIN(so take a few off that number for SAE) and 738 lb-ft of torque. I have read in AutoCar that this engine is capable of producing over 800 hp and 1000 lb-ft of torque.

738 lb/ft is definitely more than the SLR which produces 575. The engine is capable of more, though - roughly 880 lb/ft of it, provided there is a transmision with the cojones to handle it. Supposedly, a reinforced 7G can handle that, but I am not sure Mercedes would be willing to unleash all that power.
