    That is a very mild increase in performance over the n/a version (510hp and 630nm). I bet it could make another 150hp and 200Nm easily

    Easily.

    And maybe I'm just dumb, which I think is the case, but do I not see turbos?

    I'm thinking it could too. 600hp is still an impressive number, but an even higher number should be achievable without sacrificing reliability.

    They say it does MORE than 600hp. If you realize the trouble even two-ton Mercs have with the 65's torque and power output, who in their right mind would want another 150hp?
    That can be left over for the next McLaren-MB supercar!

    Re: AMG 6.0L V8 Bi-Turbo 600HP/800NM

    Will this engine replace the current 6.5L V12 Bi-Turbo currently used in the SL65/S65? While the NA version replaces the Supercharged V8 in the E55/SL55/etc. ?

    When AMG first developed the engine for the S, SL, and CL65, it was producing about 1200Nm of torque I think. The transmission couldn't handle all that torque, so it was brought down to 'only' 1000Nm.
    The huge amounts of torque produced even by the 55 and 600 series cars has been the reason that we havn't seen the new 7-speed automatic for these models, it just can't handle all that torque.

    That's a good question, I never thought of that.
    As far as I know, the engines in the 65 cars will stay for another few years, but we'll see power increased to 630-650hp.
    That's just speculation though, I have no way of confirming it.

    Actually Brabus was first to present a modified V12 with more than 1000Nm, Mercedes technicians initially said that this would be too much for the engine block, not to mention the gearbox. They somehow found a way to come up with that numbers, but I am just wondering if this really extends the car's character...

    The above shown picture is the n/a-V8, which is mentioned in the first part of the article.

    The two V8 engines are said to replace the current ones, a downside on the 3valve/cylinder-engines is their comparably low top-end output. That's one reason they have to run these torque numbers!

    Re: AMG 6.0L V8 Bi-Turbo 600HP/800NM

    This sounds like an awesome engine, can't wait to hear it, from GFC:

    "Designer engine sound adds to the power experience

    Customers expect a new AMG high-performance engine to possess a characteristic and throaty sound. The primary aim of the technicians was also to create a synthesis of palpable dynamism and the long-distance comfort typical of a Mercedes. During acceleration the driver experiences the emotional sound of the fast-running engine and the exceptional power of the naturally aspirated eight-cylinder. At the same time this powerpack must for instance exhibit the smooth running characteristics and effortless progress required when covering long motorway distances. During this work the specialists at AMG were at pains to avoid disturbing noises and emphasise the pleasant frequencies which are typical of a sports car. At the same time it was important to comply with all the relevant regulations - for example when measuring drive-by noise. These varying requirements were a major challenge for the engineers and technicians at Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and they passed the test with flying colours - the results are well worth hearing.


    Research in the acoustics laboratory and during test drives

    Complex test series both in the acoustics laboratory and during vehicle trials led to a completely newly designed, twin-pipe exhaust system with pipe cross-sections and silencer volumes precisely suited to the engine displacement. Depending on the vehicle model, not only the routing of the pipes and the position and size of the rear silencers, but also the location of the catalytic converters and oxygen sensors had to be defined. The two oval, chrome twin tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust system are not only a striking visual characteristic - the dynamic AMG V8 exhaust note instantly tells the knowledgeable person that this is a genuine AMG.


    Close attention was also paid to the intake noise. The aim was to create a sporty but in no way irritating sound for the AMG eight-cylinder. To this end various components were used during the development phase. When designing the dual-flow intake system, numerous variations of intake ducts, air filters and intake noise dampers were experimented with before the final result was achieved."

    I see what you're saying about the car's character. I seem to hear from those who have driven the 65 cars that they don't offer a lot more than the 55 cars until pretty high speeds. The SL 55 is a great gran turismo, but it's no sports car. It would be interesting to see how much better, if any, the experience of the 65 would be.
