Mercedes-Benz: CL-Class news **2011 CL63 AMG Revealed (page 8)**
look at the power ratings for this car........ insane!!!!!!! 
now THERE........ is a car. For Christ's sake the car should come with a tire trailer and and extra set of rims mounted on Hoosier racing slicks!!!! geez.... too bad there's no pic.. now - can you imagine - an SL65........
Mercedes putting finishing touches on more powerful, turbocharged 6.5-liter V12
Mercedes-Benz’s appetite for power remains unfulfilled, according to press reports in Germany. Not content with the 500 hp delivered by the supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine found in the SL55, the German carmaker is putting the finishing touches on an even more powerful, turbo-charged 6.5-liter V12.
The new powerplant, offspring of the 60-degree unit used in the upmarket Maybach, produces more than 600 hp along with 723 lb-ft of torque. The new engine is due to appear in a CL65 AMG model slated for launch later this year

I'm not sure if having the most hp is the right way to go. MBZ needs to make their cars a little lighter and work on their handling to better balance their cars. The heaviness holds back responsiveness and handling, which to me is just as important.
