I'm curious if the E60 will be offered alongside the E55 AMG, or if it will simply serve as a more powerful replacement.

If the E60 AMG is supposed to complement, I would think that the "roughly 500 ps" the article mentions will end up being closer to 550 hp, give or take a little (after all, the E55 AMG cranks out 476 ponies). Then the power would seem be more on par with the 550 horses rumoured to come out of the V10 in the upcoming BMW M5 (incidentally, also called E60). Furthermore, Mercedes wouldn't then put two very similar models in their lineup, although they've done that before: CL600 vs CL55, S600 vs S55, and SL600 vs SL55 all come to mind. Those were all standard versus AMG-tuned models, though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Cheers,
