No also,

MB already has a hard enough time trying to justify to CL55 & S55 owners why their cars are so much more expensive when they basically have the same engine as a car that cost 30K less.

The 65 engine will be reserved for the high dollar cars.

IMHO.

I agree with Ex-BEEMER's logic.
I think the S, CL and SL should be in separate engine strata given the price difference between them and the E.
That's one reason I consider the E55 a 'bargain'.

I believe it will be called E63. The next wave of AMG V8 engines will be naturally aspirated producing 500hp and 435lb/ft of torque. Hopefully a LSD will be added to get the power down more efficiently, and AMG tweaks the handling/steering feedback to give a more sporty feel.

I doubt it. I agree with EX-BEEMER.

I find the HP difference betweent he SL, CL, S 55 AM's and the E55 very INADEQUATE considering price!!! THE E55 is a HUGE Bargain, IMHO. So is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

no plans through the end of the body style..

Not in the works or even ready in theory. They are going to build a CLS65 however and that is very close to the E chassis (it is the e chassis lol). So it will be a CLS55 then the CLS63 Then the CLS65...now thats a bunch of CLS AMG's in the works!

E65 TradeMark Registration

Take a look at the Trade Mark registrations that Daimler filed for on April 29th (in the US). Also note that the CLS65 has been filed seperately (without a 55 version). I'm guessing a 2006 intro of the "65" AMG engines.

Given a W211 E55 will produce 600hp and 700lbft with the addition of a $5000 kit, obliterating the performance numbers of a CL65 in the process today, why would you want to wait and pay $120K?
