Hot damn guys!
I am still elated the E55 is coming back with a twin Bi-turbo I6 with 490ps.
(I can only image the soundtrack this engine will produce after hearing the C43, which reminds me of the early Pagani Zondas in hi revs, just more toned down) AMG is working on the sonics.

490ps, that is more powerful than the full-fledged V8 E55 Kompressor V8 of 2004 which stood at 476ps. Lighter weight, 4-Matic i assume, and a better more efficient 9-speed tranny, The new E55 is going to be a performer.
The new E63 S is going to be insane. 605hp and 627lb-ft. it is more powerful than the SLR. With the addition of 4-Matic could probably smoke it from a 0-300kmh race.
There is still the e63 for the ultimate sound trackyes the new E55 will be amazing but nothing beats the soundtrack of a V8 imo.

Can't wait for this next exciting chapter of E-Class performance, however I hope it is not 4WD only, because that would lose the classic driving qualities of rear wheel drive, which purists associate with most performance cars, but the 600+hp V8, bring it on..Voila.![]()

I think an strongly rear biased 4WD system will work well on this vehicle, 600+hp is just too much for the rear wheels to handle
