Benz just killin us with the mental games on this new TT!!!
Latest is the info coming out this week on the SLC Gullwing P Car fighter.
Supposedly pretty solid info is that Benz is stickin N/A on it now.
WTF??? Perhaps old news and these guys (magazine) are just getting a clue or something.
Link to latest head game on whether TT is coming.
The new Mercedes SLC/Gullwing will be aimed primarily at the Porsche 911 Turbo with a target price of roughly €150,000 – both a coupe (codenamed C197) and a roadster (codenamed R197) will be produced and it will be slightly smaller than the outgoing SLR.
Power will come from AMG's 6.3-litre V8 producing 550bhp and 445lb ft of torque, allowing the Gullwing to achieve 0-60mph in just 3.8 seconds, maximum speed stands at 185mph – fuel consumption is said to be 14litres/100km.

That's why I was saying that we've heard so many rumors that it seems like Mercedes themselves are undecided 
At one point, they talked about releasing a 6.2L TT, then 5.5L TT, then 5.0L TT, then even 6.2L supercharged, and now they're saying 6.2L N/A

I agree, They really are undecided!
I know the gas prices and the new mileage laws will have an impact too. I at least hope for a minimum of the 5.0 motor with TT's. I heard a long time ago that this is a destroked 6.2 motor. Who knows
My lease is up in 13 months on my 06' E55 and I am unsure of what to do relative to AMG's direc tion. With two W211 E55's over the last 5 years going on six it leaves me in a quandry

I'm thinking marketing. If they get everyone else thinking only 550, then the other manufactures think they're only competing w/ 550.
Then BAM!- 600+ uber tunable turbo power!!
Maybe just wishful thinking on my part though.

i think jim nailed it...this is all head games from mb. they are putting out an incredible amount of disinformation for a reason. i just hope it's a good reason instead of a disappointing one.

Way different from years past!
When I put my deposit down for my 2003 E55 in 2002 it was pretty well known that the V8 Kompressor would be introduced in the upcoming W211.Today which is only about a year away from the W212 release we still do not know the direction of AMG and what's going to be in the E AMG. I really would like to know since my E55 is coming off lease in 14 months and if it is something I would like to order. C'mon AMG get with it or else your going to lose some loyal customers!
