Paris sightings (AM, AMG, Ferrari, etc!)

It was a naturally aspired engine though, not supercharged like the "55" V8, nor biturbo like the 65 that is available now. Interesting to know that the NA 63 engine had less punch than the kompressor 55: 444 hp and 620 Nm vs 500 / 700. I guess it is a more "creamy" experience and also of course cooler to own a V12 AMG than a stock CL600 :bah: Of course when AMG decided to produce a V12 engine on a larger scale, they had to raise the figures so that it could make sense compared to the V8, ence the fact they added a couple of turbos (612 hp / 1000 Nm)

thanks tt
yes it would be much cooler to own a limited cl 5meters long cupe
