The S63 has very similar acceleration #'s to the S65...and is actually a little faster to 150 mph.

new motor is very cool but the new s class is sexy

Nice!

5000lb though!!??? She's a big girl!!

Can't wait to see what a 4200lb luxury liner car do!!! Come on TTE63!!!

Still no official word yet from AMG and the C63 continuing N/A has me a bit worried.

Beautiful, but I don't like two things:

1. I don't like the gauges. They look too Japanese. I prefer the more classic VDO with bezels.
2. The double humps for the gauges and nav is bulky and it looks like a BMW 7 series copy:

Isnt this the same S-class? I thought the new S was for 2012.

I hope they start calling it the 55 again.

Wow, they should have just gone to you for suggestions when building the car

I agree. The guys at MB think that tying the name back to the legendary 300 SEL 6.3 is so meaningful. However, what they failed to realize is that they established a second legend, the 55 Series AMG. You would think that they would value and nuture that, just as the M division does with the "M3" or "M5" mystique...or Audi from the now established RS6.

That engine in a C63 AMG black series would be even more impressive

OK, well now the S63 with the Perf. Package has the power to be noteworthy. The older S63, while a nice car, was simply not too fast - the E55 outclassed it in terms of performance, and various other cars around the 13 second 1/4 mile range.

I wonder what will be of the S65 in the future - performance is just too close to the S63 now, but with a huge price gap for almost the same car.

It's also worth noting that a plain-jane 2012 CL550 4Matic with the 4.6TT ran a 12.8 slip in the previous issue as well.

Just reading about that this week. Not even rumors about it coming out of AMG. All guesses point at a super hyped up TTV8 but who knows.

Think the V12s days are numbered.

My thoughts exactly.

Worth the wait

Don't count on it.

Too much of this kind of ignorant, destructive input on this site He made some on-topic constructive comments, you should try and do the same.

Will be great to finally get this engine in the W212 E, especially if it's available in tuned 560 bhp guise like in the S and CL. I can see no reason why this car won't be better than the 5.4k and 6.2 NA in every way. More power and allied to a chassis which now has handling and steering that's at the top of its class. But they sure are making us wait.

New motor has better emissions, better fuel consumption, goes like lightning, I'm hoping they bring this out in the E-Class. Oh and re-name it the E55 Bi-Turbo.

Sher Judge

They might aswell just call the new one the ''S75'' with a blazing 7.3L V12 TT.

Limen

Boy, I hope not!!

I LOVE my V12TT

W211 BEAST

Leaving the gym this morning I saw a CL63 with side badges that read "V8 Biturbo". Has it actually been released already?!?!
