My stars I can't wait to see what happens with this. I wonder what Mercedes will do if both of them come up with something truly special? We all know AMG and McLaren can build a hella sports car. I guess there is no chance of them working together huh? No of course not after the SLR near-debacle. A concept already in time for Geneva, things gonna get interesting real fast folks.

So far there’s little in the way of solid detail about the car, aside from the fact that it will be powered by a high-performance AMG V8 engine, possibly a new 6.0-litre turbocharged V8. This engine was put on hold but is said to be back in development.

I figured as much. That means the next round of AMG cars will be the E60, SL60 etc, but with more hp and more importantly more torque than the current naturally aspirated 6.2L version of this engine. I guess a beefed-up version of the 7G-tronic will debut at this time or some other type of transmission like a DSG? No way they're going to go back to the old 5-speed in the current V12 AMG cars!!
****************Uh....did any of you guys notice that Autocar has this ---> "04 Jul - Mercedes C63 AMG" listed on their main page indicating a test drive of the yet to be released C63 AMG? ******************
