it really seems to me that AMG has got some sort of problems with their supercharged engines and they don't quite come clean about it. to me, AMG cars are mainly famous for their torque -- so to the N/A way of BMW seems weird to me. of course a big V12 with increased displacement will delivery a lot of torque as well -- the AMG 7.3 from the R129 SL got about 750 Nm of torque if i remember it right. but it was HEAVY as well. btw, isn't this engine still used in the pagani zonda?
