    New AMG 63 engine finally no secret anymore

    Specs: 6.3 V12 with 510 HP.
    First AMG model to get it seems to be the upcoming ML63 AMG.
    The engine seems also to fit the CLS, the E-class and, hold your breath, the SLK. And of course the SL gets it too.
    A bi-turbo charged version may also be in the planning.

    The interesting part: the new engine is a 100% AMG development, not a modified Mercedes engine.

    The new engine is a n/a-V8, peak RPM is about 1000 RPM below BMW's and Audi's numbers. Pretty curious about that engine, AMG seems to put a lot of effort into it.

    Where can I sign for that SLK 63?

    By the way, for those who speak German:

    The Bi-Turbo version has a reduced displacement of 6.0 litres and should produce about 600 hp!

    Re: New AMG 63 engine finally no secret anymore

    It is a 6.3 V8 with 630NM

    The reputable German magazine Auto Motor und Sport and jesmb.de have released official information on the upcoming 6,3 AMG engine. Here are the specs:

    4-valves per cylinder
    6208 ccm displacement
    Max power: 510 hp @ 6800 rpm
    Max torque: 464 lb.ft. @ 5200 rpm
    Redline: 7200 rpm

    What is most notable about this engine besides its high revving nature ist the fact that it is not an AMG modified Mercedes engine but a completely independent AMG development. This engine will be first seen in the ML 63 AMG in Frankfurt this September and will eventually power the AMG versions of S-class, CL, R-class, SL, CLS, E-class, CLK and SLK. In addition to this engine, there will be a V8 twin turbo 6.0L version putting out 600 hp and 590 lb. ft of torque.

    Of course you're right, a V8, not a V12.
    I had an article of a Brabus V12 G-class in my hands when I wrote this, apparently I was dreaming.

    Now all AMG needs to go with that great engine is an exhaust system that sounds like a Zonda
