German insiders have hinted the release of a new 2011 Mercedes E65 AMG. The new AMG family member uses a 6.0 liter V12 producing 600hp and 737lb-ft of torque. The power will be converted to the rear wheels. The rumour has not been confirmed by Mercedes-Benz.

Expect the sports car to be available on the market later this year. A price of around € 150,000 is speculated.

 

If it is put into production- doubtful it'll make it to the US. Not much, if any- demand.

 

Either that, or they'll have to cancel the S class AMG's.
Benz has been competing with themselves a lot lately, i saw the new E class coupe, and wondered what was the point of the CL class still being in production.

 

Could be true, I really cant see why they need this engine if they have the new 5.5L Twin Turbo producing 540 and 570 with the pp package.

 

+1

I doubt they'll cancel the S63. That car has been more successful then the E63 for sales in the US. What's bizarre is the CL actually blazed a trail, but the problem is it needs to bring the game in at a different level then the current body. It's just boring. Looks like a Toyota or something.

The new E Coupe is handsome and sharp looking.

I doubt it'll see the light of day in most Countries.

 

i heard the CL class will be canceled and the S class coupe is on the way!

 

I don't see that happening anytime soon. The S-Class is such an established brand, it can't be without its flagship. Different customer base, although the vehicle's performance is very similar.

 

They are introducing a C-class coupe not a small 3 door like the current one in europe but a smaller E-class coupe.

 

So, what ... AMG just copies Brabus now? Sad.

 

It is just like Audi, making the A5 four door, what are they thinking? What is the point of the A6?
