Bill, I saw that video yesterday through mbworld and its the best review so far even though its not in english.

The one thing that I noticed is that it sounds like an AMG is supposed to be but very much differentiated than the deep brutal 55's, as I find it to be aggressive yet much higher pitched due to its increased revving limit, displacement and other things that are built with the core of the engine.

I like the fact that its an ALL AMG engine and not like the M113 which is bored out of the 500 V8 found in the SL, S, CL etc which started life as a 24V 306hp mated to a 5speed auto.
