I meant that these are the upcomming models for AMG...

the 73 AMG was made for R129 AMG...

Read this:

Mercedes S69 AMG!
S69 Ups The Ante In Battle Of The Giants

At the other end of the scale from the A-Class, Merc is building a luxury saloon with supercar performance. As the power struggle between AMG and the German maker's other affiliated tuner Brabus intensifies, the former is working on a new flagship, the S69 AMG.

Producing in excess of 675bhp, the model is set to be the wildest S-Class yet, with a larger-capacity version of the 6.0-litre bi-turbo V12 from the S65 (right). With torque expected to be in excess of 1,000Nm, finding a reliable transmission to handle it will have been difficult - but our sources say engineers have managed to do so. In preparation for the introduction of the newcomer, Mercedes has registered the S69 trademark, along with SL69 and CL69. That means we've got a whole range of flagships to look forward to.

I don't know anyrhing more, only that you will have to got to Mercedes directly to order the SL73.

As for a supercharger, I doubt it. They will bore the engine out to 7.3l and that capacity will give all the Bhp and torque you could need.

I never heard of this... :shock:

I thought that they made a 73 AMG version only for the R129... :roll:

But that one wasn't supercharged!!! Pure 525Bhp (same as they use in the Pagani)

It matters if you want to make such a heavy car corner properly, plus a heavier object is harder to stop. Even though power to weight is important it is not everything.
