Lets all hope and prey that the V12 Biturbo is in fact what will power the next AMG version. I have heard and read so many different suggestions as to what will power the E63/E65. The V12TT is a sick powerplant and it would make the E55 stupidly fast! Amen.

Yes, there will be a E6x AMG (with 65 front bumper), as a 2007 model.

I agree that MB/AMG needs to get their *** in gear and start offering an LSD. We are just scratching the surface of our AMG cars' potential. I will never understand why they wouldnt at least offer one as an option. Its just senseless, especially when so much R&D is put into making these cars so fast and technologically advanced. What are they thinking across the pond???

No matter how much HP that is put into our cars somebody always wants more. I know this is sacralege here but 420HP to the rear wheels is really plenty for a street car. HP wars are all about egos and who has the biggest and the best. When BMW makes one that matches 619 HP MB will trump it. Don't y0u just love it.

I am a firm believer of "asking for the order". Is there anyway we could email or fax/write Benz and plead for as much horse as they can put under the hood of the new 55/65. Maybe being naive, but couldn't hurt. We sure the hell are the official "target audience". Why not ask for what we want.
Any other email addresses besides the lame "benz website black hole" email addresses.
I get the creeps anytime I see "click to send general comments"....yup, right into delete they go I bet.
Please be gentle with replys, it was just an idea.
All the best

As for ESP being the same as an LSD, that's crazy. Now that I have an LSD, the difference is day and night. After the Kleemann HP increases, the brake application from ESP during launches absolutely KILLED my 60' times. The LSD rocks.

I also said MOST MB owners don't race, obviously a lot of the guys that frequent this forum do. What MB markets to is the other 95% that don't

I dont care what anyone says ... the V12 will never be in a production W211. If people want to think its true fine -- but its not. The next W211 will be a E65 V8.... NOT A V12.... plain and simple.
Going to Europe and talking to a janitor is not a good source to figure out what items are in the pipeline at AMG.

I honestly dont think the V12 will happen either but its ok to dream.

Vetluver, I would agree that most regular MB owners dont race but I think that most AMG vehicle owners do, so it does matter.

So a Mercedes-Benz sedan will compete against the Ferrari 430, Lambo Gallardo, etc etc. or will it still compete against vehicles such as the M5, CTS-V, etc etc...Just curious because doesn't it seem a bit unusual that a sedan is going up against exotic vehicles.

I don't like how Mercedes is just trying to push hp numbers. I mean what is the point of tryin to make the numbers higher if you can't get those numbers to the ground. It's been brought numerous times before, We can have a 700 hp sedan but what good is it if we can't get it down to the ground where it needs to be. Just my 2 cents
