So is Benz going to honor their contract with Pagani and keep producing engines for them???? What is the next step for Pagani, do they source their engine from a different manufacturer, make it in house, use a twin turbo Mercedes V8???? IMO using the twin turbo Mercedes V8 would be a mistake IMO, its the same engine as the Mercedes AMG GT, aka Germany's six figure Corvette. I dunno, what do you all think, should the next gen Pagani use a Benz twin turbo V8 instead of a twin turbo V12????? I mean this is a very limited production hyper car, does cylinder count matter??? Does engine pedigree matter??? I mean this is probably going to be the same basic engine fitted into a Mercedes G-wagon, your typical US spec S-class, your typical US spec SL, maybe some upper spec not an AMG E-class sedans, coupes and convertibles. Hell its going to be the same engine as an AMG C-class, that 4.0 twin turbo V8 is the defacto Benz performance engine for the next several years, I just don't think its quite special enough to put into a Pagani, no matter how much hp you get out of it. BTW at 4.0 liters of displacement, if it has 200hp/liter at 4 liters that's 800hp, I mean will that damn thing hold together at that sort of hp and boost, because that is the sort of power you'd expect in a new Pagani.
