Either Auto Und Sport or Motor Bild was quoting the new E63T at 515hp....

515hp now?? Maybe it was quoting DIN hp which is a few ticks off from the SAE hp (which is what is used in this country). 515 DIN hp is roughly 505 SAE hp

ClayJ

I think my point was that it was definately more than 470. I think they quoted (don't remember which one I read them all while this site was down last night) the C63 (cls or clk) at 487 -- which might convert down to 470....

RezF

It is the CLK. Don't know why but the CLK was never part of the Kompressor engines with the current lineup. I guess MB wants to keep the hp on the CLK below the CLS E S variants

this site has all the details of the 63

510hp is what they say.
this article is older

ClayJ

Something about not having room in there for it? But I've been wrong in the engine-fitting category before....

ClayJ

Yeah, the 510 figure is an older one, and I've heard a bunch of 505's, 510's, and 515's -- doesn't necessarily mean that it is not accurate though. I am just not buying 470 -- that's B.S.

I respect AMG, but why do they introduce new models every couple of years and screw people on resale. We all remember the 2002 to the 2003 AMG supercharger upgrade.
