[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 1119441, member: 2758"] AMG has recently designed their OWN V8 engine. A 6.3 litre V8 which revs to 7200rpm and puts out 510 bhp. And of course, it's NA and its got all the usual tech stuff that goes with high revving NA engines. They've stuck it in the new Mercedes R class which has just been launched. You maybe thinking at this point that, "Hey, it's bigger than the M5's 5.0 litre V10 and generates less power for its size...". and you've got a fair point. BUT, and its a big but, I'm not sure my facts and figures are correct, apparently the AMG V8 is a very compact and light engine. And although its got huge displacement, its actually lighter than the BMW V10. Thus a better power to weight ratio. Thanks largely to its all aluminium construction. The BMW V10 needed a very strong crankcase and therefore more weight. The AMG V8 has also got more torque, thanks to its size. I'd like to see one in supercharged of twin turbo form. Put that in an SLK and let fly. [/QUOTE]
