I just checked it out myself. Two new video articles.
1. The newly released 7 Series. This car has the "Angel Eyes" head lights found on the current 5 Series. At least they did one (1) smart thing with this ride.
2. The newly released Mercedes SL Roadster. Its official, the AMG version of this car will have a 5.5 litre engine that is Super Charged, pumping out a whopping 476 horse power!!!!! Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look out M5. Now its up to BMW to out do the AMG Guys!
Any thoughts or opinions?
Thanks.

The AMG versions of the 2003 S Class, CL and SL will be the S63 AMG Kompressor, CL63 AMG Kompressor and SL63 AMG Kompressor because they will have a supercharged sohc 36 valve 6.3 liter V12 engine. I think I read this in Car and Driver or Motor Trend last month. I believe the new 2003 AMG E Class will have the supercharged sohc 24 valve 5.5 liter V8 (designated as E55 AMG Kompressor). Factory supercharged Benzes are always designated as Kompressor. I believe Kompressor is the German word for supercharger.
