is that a new motor ?

don't their new friends at amg have hi-po v12s ?

[Gordo]

Yes, and no - they're going smaller engines with turbo's which are supposed to reflect their F1 tech'.

[schattenblau]

my bad, cars like sl65 amg were bi-turbo
should last longer than 100,000km though

I think you are at cross purposes.....................noisy revvy engine is for the Valkryie; separately, they are apparently considering an inline 6 for use in some of the other models.

amg can make loud angry engines

It would seem so.
The A-M is suposed to have a service life of, IIRC, 100k km, whereas the M-B is proposed to be half that. NOTE, this is their proposed 'uber' car* and not a 'normal' production car.

1000hp Naturally Aspirated over whatever the AMG is with its twin turbos

Having driven turbo, supercharge and NA cars, I'm safely in the NA camp. Sure I drive turbo cars myself, but I would much prefer an NA engine - if they could fit a decent NA engine into a small hatchback that is as I don't want to sacrifice performance for going to NA

I've driven some NA v8's, but I didnt like any of them, the cars were just far too big and heavy
