I think you are a little confused. Mercedes have put the supercharged 5.5 litre V8 in the G-class. I don't think that they will also put in the twin turbo 6 litre V12 in it.

Umm.......I know the G55 currently is using 5.5 supercharged V8. If u read carefully, I am just wondering if the 5.5 twin turbo on the current S600, CL600 will make its way to the G-Class that's all.
