Mercedes-Benz AMG Engine

In addition to the juicy E-Class gossip we just brought you, Auto Motor und Sport has shed some light on a subject Mercedes-Benz owners are dying to know:  "What new AMG models can we expect to see in 2006?"

We get questions about this all the time, so if Auto Motor und Sport is accurate, this should answer all you power-hungry MB owners' questions.

According to the article, Mercedes is planning an onslaught of AMG models in 2006.  Here's the rundown:

1) The S 65 AMG, featuring a 612 horsepower V12
2) The CLK 63 AMG, featuring a 482 horsepower V8
3) The E 63 AMG, featuring a 515 horsepower V8
4) The CLS 63 AMG, featuring a 515 horsepower V8

The article also mentions some disappointing news for fans of the AMG-developed M156 engine. According to the story, due to high costs, the M156 is already approaching the end of its short lifespan.  Instead, Mercedes will probably opt to use their newly introduced V8 paired with a supercharger.

If your vehicle didn't make the list, remember - there's always 2007.  My apologies to all you G 63 fans.

For more info, you can check out the full article over at Auto Motor und Sport by clicking here (scroll down to the bottom of the page to read the story). Again, it's roughly translated from German, so it's somewhat difficult to follow.
