Hammer2 is supposed to have higher boost pressure! (707hp/ 737lb-ft)

If Hammer2 gets that much power the M275 Bi-Turbo V12 used in the S65 AMG might be discontinued! and go with this Hammer2 (unless AMG is preparing a 800hp V12 )

Thay also say the C63 will be introduced with the M156 n/a V8 but with
450hp, down from the CLKs` 481hp.

No problem.


Artist, you might be right! I remember reading a rumer about a 6.8liter DOHC
V-12 in the works for MB. This might be an AMG engine exclusive as well, but man!! what kind of nubers are we going to see from this thing!!

This is really getting insane!

Re: AMG M157 Bi-Turbo V8!

I believe we might also see the new SMG type transmissions the AMG boss promised maby when the S63 omes out. I like the 5-speed but I think it`s starting to show it`s age.

Re: AMG M157 Bi-Turbo V8!

well the SMG type will be out i dont know when..
but i think it will be based on the 7G tronic.. and that SLK SLR.. from dubai uses the 7G and it has like extreme torque.. so the gearbox can handle it with some mods.. mb are just being secretive
