As we told you back in December in this post, AMG revealed its new twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8 engine, which will make its debut in the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG starting this summer.
This new engine replaces the 6.2-litre V8, and promises to deliver more power as well as an improved fuel consumption. With a total output of 537bhp produced at 5500rpm, the new powerplant shows also a power increase comparing it to the 518bhp at 6800rpm in the 6.2-litre V8.
