Twin turbo V12 !!!!!

My brother told me about a twin turbo v12(cl 600 i think) that came by his job a couple of weeks ago. He talked with the owner of the car and didn't believe him at first until the guy popped the hood and sure enough it was a twin turbo! Anyway my brother spoke with a guy that works at a shop that works on benzs and he told him that its the only one in the states. Anyways I'm in atlanta if you guys are wondering. Jus tthought you guys might like to know if you already didn't know.

Holy Crap!:eek: I bet that thing is awesome. Anyone know how quick it is?

0-60 in 4.5 seconds i believe... I think mercedes is doing a VERY good job with the new 600's and AMG's!!

Benz is always doing a very good job :D Might be quicker then 4.5, not sure thoughm I just know that the Renntech SL7.4 is 0-60mph in 4.4, 1980lbs & 500hp or something like that. My neighbour would know about this new engine, will ask tomorrow. He is a benz freak, has 2 of them. Is part of a benz club, best friend owns over 14 benz.

From car magazine data the CL TT 0-60 mph is 4,8 seconds ... 493 HP ... I forget the torque number .. for a big car like that ... this is really good .. :) :D

All the '03 600s are 5.5L (yes the dropped it from a full 6L) twin turbo (bi-turbo) V12s. The AMGs are still 5.5L supercharged V8s. There's a new AMG however that is a bi-turbo V12. Its a 6.5L bi-turbo V12 AMG that puts out a whole lotta hp and torque. The CL version has already been made.. and can be checked out here: Mercedes Benz CL 65 AMG (http://www.germancarfans.com/News.cfm?NewsID=2030304.002)
