So is this new AMG V8 going to be DOHC finally? Mercedes usually sticks with the SOHC. I guess for low-end torque matters?

I remember seeing on some sight within the last year that Benz has trademarked the names C63, SLK63, and CLK63. The Big boys got trademarked the xx69 AMG names.

ummm, that's a very big displacement v8 engine. very interesting, though not sure if i like the idea. i kinda like the idea of keeping small displacement but crank up the juice, like what bimmer is doing with the v10 5liter. v8 6.3 liter with 500hp, umm...

yeah definitely, but then it reduces the efficiency of the engine too i think. it's just like a long time ago you see a lot of 6L v8 or so on american cars, but with better technology and efficiency, displacement was reduced but the performance got better.

i guess i just like the idea for those where everything is being squeezed out
