Too early to tell but some experts claim next generation E63 will have around 525hp. We still have good two years before new E hits the market. check out some spy shots and the rest of the article.

that's it???

I'm sure they got something else up their sleeves....I hope...

TREZ63

Great article. Can't wait to see the new beast. That is perfect timing too cause by the time my lease is up they'll have worked out the initial kinks. I like that fact that they say they're working more on the chasis to make it more responsive, maybe that means we'll get a sportier ride.

MiamiAMG

Yeah, the new E63 has to push out at least 550hp.

SAMSSONZ

Nice, It already comes lowered

Carl Lassiter

The M5 is rumored to be tuned up to 550bhp while the forthcoming RS6 will have 565bhp, according to Autocar.

I find it hard to believe the next gen. E63 won't be more powerful than 525bhp. If it's not, then I don't see too many buyers.

Regardless, the RS6 is where my deposit's going as AWD is becoming more and more of an asset as power climbs towards 600bhp.

that is what it says in that artice is 525, but it has been confrimed by auto week in a different article related to the new SL that the 6 liter v 8's will recieve twin turbo's. I have to say that twin turbo's will be ghood for more than 18 hP!

Skeeter

Hm. I wonder what transmission they'll put in the twin-turbo SL. The seven speed won't handle it in present form. I wonder if they'll keep using the 5 speed in our E55's. Doubt it. It'd be great if they find a way to make the 7 speed handle a twin turbo 6 liter mill...

Maybe a DSG or SMG style transmission? I can only hope...

A twin turbo V8 would be my dream...just imagine the potential.

TopGun32

its too early to really say "525"

AMG will probably wait unti the M5 gets a boost on power to release their numbers.

chiromikey

or they could be leaking those numbers as misinformation so the others think they're in the lead.

imho, this can't be correct as an 18hp jump seems pointless. current 63 owners could fart and get those gains.

Mercedes is the best at this game. Everybody **** the bed when the 55k's made 560+ lbs of torque. NOT expected.

Bet the next-gen AMG's will be TTV8's. Smaller than the 6.2 liter to handle boost. It'll likely be a 6.0 liter TT V8. E60 AMG??

Plus with mercedes' methodology of throwing essentially the same drivetrain in every AMG with few exceptions, it will be easy to control the power differences between the cars through rudimentary ECU tuning. The E gets less boost than the S and SL, everybody who buys them is happy, until the E guys go buy chips and rape the lot of them.

blackbenzz

I was hoping for a V8tt from AMG. I will get one if they ever make it I also hope its low compression (i.e. 8.5:1) so I can boost the hell out of it

Vadim @ FD

At the present time, my sources say smaller displacement twin turbo for W212 E6????

xlr8tin

Geez...already? So what is this gonna do to the value of the W211 E55?? Go down.

I needed something to drive them closer to my price range

lbE55

Would you need to modify the exhaust?

I'll have to try this the next time that I go to the track. I seems like it would be a cheap/no-cost mod (especially after certain types of food).

I wouldn't be surprised to see the next generation E63 get a de-tuned version of the upcoming 2011 Gullwing's twin-turbo 6.2 liter motor. The first Gullwing motor will produce 750 PS and a later version is rumored to have an output of 1000 PS. A twin-turbo 6.2 liter with an output of 650 PS in the new E63 is very possible. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a naturally aspirated 6.8 liter motor producing between 580 to 600 PS. No one knows for sure but it's sure fun to anticipate.

hakaida442

I'm more interested in the updates to the chassis/suspension/front end looks than a few extra hp.

ProV1

there is no way the next gen AMG E-class, still 3-4 years away, will only have 525 HP.

bad news is that it'll prolly cost $110k+
