Why is the G55 AMG my favourite S.U.V ?

How much will it give out at 2.0/2.2 bar?!!! I'm getting chills!
Over 600hp!!!

Crazy Amount of power

Just as a note, you can't just crank up the boost pressure and expect more power. If the turbos start operating outside of their efficiency range, the charged air will become extremely hot which is detrimental to performance. On top of that, they will not last.

I think an ECU tune (abt 1.4-1.5bar max. boost pressure) with a free flowing exhaust will easily put this motor over 600hp. Cant wait!
There might be some limitations to increases in torque because of the MCT transmission but maybe they have beefed it up to be as strong as the 5spd transmission currently in the G55.

Lets hope it sounds half as good as the 55k motor though.

I want it to sound louder than the 55K, best part of this car is the exhausts on the side you hear it more in the G as a comparison to an ML63.
