I doubt the V12 bi-turbo is gonna replace the V8 kompressor
I think the V12 bi-turbo will just be a small volume production,
like the CL63, which never made it to the US.
the CL 65 goes for around Euro 175,000 in Europe,

those numbers don't really reflect to the engine displacement anymore. as for the 240 engine, which they made it to a 2.6L, and now 180K, 200K, 230K(except slk), are all 1.8L, 350 is 3.7L
CL600 is 5.5L, as CL65 is 6.0L
