SLR AMG?
Do you think there will be an AMG version of the SLR? I hope so. The quad-turbo V12 from Chrysler ME 4-12 with 800 hp or so will be good 
p.s. I know the SLR's V8 is built at AMG.

hell no there wont be an upped version of the SLR it's damn good as it is do you honestly think that AMG can do better than McLaren? that car was built for that engine you can't just drop a bigger engine in there and hope it works. The car is balanced and tuned with that exact engine and layout and Horsepower they won't take the car back from McLaren and give it back to AMG considering they took an SL55 to turn into the SLR not much left of it but it's there.

WTF ... the 5.5 liter AMG engine was tuned by mclaren , you want it to be tuned again by AMG ? dont think so , and they will certainly wont put any Chrysler engine in it .

/\/\ that Chrysler engine is actually an AMG engine it's the same one used in the Zonda except it has 4 turbos hooked up to it/\/\
but still this wil never happen they aren't even making enought SLR's to tune them unless they did like 3 of them a year.

Definitely not. I don't think they would be able to extract any more power without jeapordizing the reliability of the car... but thats why we have Brabus for, right?

ok, first off, the SLR was built in the Mclaren factory, second, why the fuk would you wanna compare the SLR to the concept car ME12?! its still in concept stages, and the engine will possibly be detuned...the pre production SLR is 800 hps also, but emissions and shit like that probably forced the germans to detune the car...

Rumor had it they couldn't develop a clutch big enought to harness the power. Same with the Audi RS6. The SLR might get the 7Gtronic, or whatever that new 7-speed in the '05 models has.

OK no one was comparing the SLR McLaren to the AMG built Chrysler ME412 he just mentioned it's engine that's it. And it was also mentioned that the SLR is a McLaren built car a few times.

Exactly :roll:
A £300k car, 200mph 0-60 in less than 4secs and you want them to do an AMG version. :roll:
Mclaren vs. AMG ..... hmmm... McLaren are a million times better 
It would be so stupid that i think ths thread needs to be closed. Partly because the rumor is a load of shit and partly because of thinks like i hope it's a manual.
The SLR has been designed... that is all you are going to get :roll: ... until the next Merc-McLaren

I think that this should stay open just to see how many people rip on his stupid idea.

haha, I agree with you T-bird...if they did do an AMG version...first of all I would crap my pants if AMG were able to get any more BHP out of that engine than McLaren already has..and second..if AMG did anything to the SLR the performance figures would not be any better especially since all merc would do is make it 2 tons heavier...
