Default You want torque? I give you the AMG CL65

BAMM!!!!! 1000Nm at 2000rpm (731lb/ft). 6 liter twin turbo V12 pushing 21psi.



"CL 65 AMG: 1000 Newton metres of torque already available at 2000 rpm

Mercedes-AMG is the creator of yet another automotive masterpiece which celebrates its world premiere in Geneva. The new CL 65 AMG continues the successful twelve-cylinder tradition of Mercedes-AMG with an up-to-date V12 power unit which exhibits stunning performance characteristics. Thanks to twin turbocharging this engine develops 450 kW/612 hp and makes a remarkable 1000 Newton metres of torque available from 2000 rpm. This makes the CL 65 AMG the most powerful AMG model to date.

Thanks to this muscular AMG 12-cylinder powerpack the Coup

Does it seem strange to anybody else that a 6 liter turbo V12 at 21psi only gets barely over 600hp?

I guess they wanted some massive bias towards the low end. It's not a sports car, after all, no matter how fast it might be.

With that kind of milage.. there's no way I'm going to buy that car with the gas prices now in the US no matter how rich I am (maybe if I was as rich as Michael Jackson.. )
