MB AMG: The Future...

AMG's Wolf Zimmermann reveals:

- New M156 V8 will appear next year in the ML63, CLK63, E63 and R63. As mentioned on this Board: 6.2L V8, 503HP and 465TQ.

- "Having said that, we will employ turbocharging, primarily at the top-end of the performance end of the spectrum."

- Two turbocharged iterations of the V8 are on their way:
* A "relatively modest boost" to 563HP and 664TQ
* A "mighty mauler provisionally rated at" 697HP and 886TQ

- "The only evolution for the normally aspirated unit is an increase in displacement to 6.8L, which is a legendary number for AMG, dating back to the company's successful sedan-racing origins."
