Any word yet when the new AMG E series will be out.

 

I believe the new E63 has been out for quite some time.

 

I met with the new 5.5 twin turbo

 

With the most recent refresh being the E63 W212 being just 2009, I would think they will roll that out in 3-4 years time right when the refresh will happen (mid life refresh) you most likely will see the 63 TT engine in the S, SL, CL and SLS first (im guessing for order S,SLS,SL and CL happening at the same time. if you follow the past of AMG the 5.5L SC was released in 03, and then in 06 they dropped the 63 NA engine in it. Mind you this is all speculation but who knows. Im sticking with my SC ed 5.5.

 

Long wait, might want to just get a used W211 or just lease the new E63.

 

The W212 AMG E63 will not have a twin turbo for 2011 according to the AMG private lounge. It might be a 2012 or 2013 model.

 

so about the 3 year mid life refresh. Cool!

 

I was under the assumption that the SLS was keeping the 6.3 Bi-Turbo?

 

the 6.3 TT isnt out yet. It currently has a 6.3L NA DOHC 571hp V8. the SLS roadster might be getting the TT engine in the future. Currently on sale only the 600 series and 65 V12 TT, a few V6s and a few diesel engines have snails shoved on em. but for AMG its only the 65, and 600 series V12s, the SL Black is a 6.3L TT as well.

 

I'm not sure about this, the only black edition SL I know of was the SL65 Black and that uses the 6.0 TTV12. The only car that has the 6.2 TTV8 is the SLS, all others use the N/A 6.2. The new AMG engine that isn't out yet is a 5.5 TTV8 but will be badged as 63 instead of 55 for some idiotic reason. Personally I miss the old 55k...

 

Incorrect the SLS has a 6.3L N/A engine, the SL black is a V12 TT correct, the TT V8 was only just recently shown in a S class concept but has not made it into production cars yet.

 

As for the 5.5L being badged as a 6.3L the 65 motors are the same they are 5.5L blocks, I had a conovo with someone about it and they said it was because they were "adding the L that the turbos were theoretically giving it" no clue what he was talking about.

 

I found this on the AMG Private Lounge website, it seems the first car will be S63. There is a lot of talk on the website, but there is no defined date for E series. I did hear that someone was ordering a 2011 E63 and the turbo engine was not an option.

"AMG is writing another chapter in its "AMG Performance
2015" drive system strategy: a completely newly developed AMG 5.5-liter
V8 biturbo engine with a peak output of up to 420 kW (544 to 571 hp) and
maximum torque of up to 900 newton metres will enter the lineup in
summer 2010. The new eight-cylinder unit known internally as the M 157
impresses with a wealth of technological highlights such as direct petrol
injection with spray-guided combustion and twin turbochargers.

This innovative, autonomously developed eight-cylinder power unit
from Affalterbach sets new standards in terms of fuel consumption and
exemplary efficiency: the new S 63 AMG, in which the V8 biturbo will have
its market debut, consumes only 10.5 liters per 100 kilometres (NEDC
combined consumption, provisional figure). This represents a saving of
25 percent compared to the current S63 AMG. An intelligently designed
power transfer plays a major part in this: the unique AMG SPEEDSHIFT
MCT 7-speed sports transmission combines dynamism with economy, and
includes a new start/stop function in the "Controlled Efficiency" driving
mode. The new engine/transmission combination is the epitome of
exclusivity, sophistication, high performance and economy.

The S 63 AMG showcar is a homage to the impressive history of powerful AMG
V8 engines: visually this high-performance saloon resembles the spectacular
300 SEL 6.8 AMG, the racing car that won a class victory and second place in the
overall ranking for AMG at the 24-hour race in Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) in
1971 – and made the company world-famous overnight."
