There is something about big AMG v8 engines I just love.

Agree on that, looooove this sound just as the E55!

I think Merc should use this statement as a bumper sticker.

As for the callipers, yep their are way bigger than the RS4 and M3 ones. Either these are needed because of the performance that engine can unleash or the bloody thing weighs a tonne. I reckon it's the performance, I doubt either the RS4 or new M3 will be able to work with this thing on the straights, here's hoping it doesn't handle that well but again I somehow doubt that.

We just might be currently looking at the daddy of this sector, ..... well until the RS5 shows it's face that is.

I totally agree. It will probably be faster on straights (that 63amg engine is what? 500+hp?), however I seriouslly doubt that it will handle as good as those two.

As for the amg engine sound...Check this one out http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NUu7xR...elated&search=

It is gonna be like that I think http://www.mercedes-amg.com/CLK_Black_Series/

+500 hp? Is this confirmed, it sounds a bit steep. This article has it as 475HP which of course would make it more than capable of beating the RS4 and perhaps also the M3.

Well, I don't know of course but 500 hp sounds a bit too much I think.

I was just following the hp this engine has in other Mercs. Didn´t know about the article.

475 is not bad at all, but I´d say it will only cover the extra weight and the C63amg might not be that faster.

We´ll see
