When a 500-hp Mercedes isn't enough
Mercedes-Benz's appetite for power remains unfulfilled, according to press reports in Germany. Not content with the 500 hp delivered by the supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine found in the SL55, the German carmaker is putting the finishing touches on an even more powerful, turbocharged 6.5-liter V12. The new powerplant, offspring of the 60-degree unit used in the upmarket Maybach, produces more than 600 hp along with 723 lb-ft of torque. The new engine is due to appear in a CL65 AMG model slated for launch later this year.
Top-end Touareg?
Lamborghini is planning to launch a V10-powered version of the Volkswagen Touareg/Porsche Cayenne by 2006, according to a report in Germany's Auto Bild magazine. Sant' Agata's high-end SUV is said to be based around a platform already under development at parent company Audi. Power for Lamborghini's new mudslinger is rumored to come from a reworked version of the Gallardo engine.
Cooper-ed Mini
Mini Cooper S owners seeking an extra dose of power soon will be able to turn to none other than Mini's namesake power broker, Britain's John Cooper Works, for a factory-warranted upgrade that boosts the S from 163 hp to 200 hp.
BMW/Mini will debut the kit at the Geneva show next month. Customers will be able to buy the upgrade immediately after the U.S. announcement in New York in April. The kit will be available through designated Mini installers as a new-car option or as a retrofit on used Cooper S models.
