The new GT-R is 2.7 sec 0-60 and has over 500hp. Put that engine in the G and call it a day.

I drove my Uncles SL55 AMG and when I floored it the car felt like it was reversing the earths rotation.

Unbelieveable torque and power.

They are beautiful engines. Put in a reliable Infiniti car and chasis would be pretty sweet.
i completely understand where you are coming from.. my brother just got a 2007 sl55 AMG, and it's amazing. did you know if you de-limit the car it can hit about 200mph stock? but with the limiter it can only get into the 150's i think..

oh, and btw, i believe the Chrysler ME 412 also used an AMG engine. In that particular instance it was a quad turbo v12 i think.

The McLaren F1 used a BMW engine, not a Mercedes engine.

The SL55 is a 12 second car, that C&D test was the slowest of any magazine. Most ran the SL at a mid-12 at 112-115.

It's the most potent Benz ever offered in North America, according to the manufacturer, and also the quickest factory Benz we've ever tested: 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds, 0 to 100 in 10.9, the quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat at 110 mph.

Its amazing.. Its not just about the #'s it has the SEXYEST exhaust i have ever heard.... unbelieveable V8 burble

Some of you guys might not no this but AMG wasn't always owned by Mercedes. AMG once worked with Mitsubishi and a bunch of other brands. You guys don't realize that Infiniti has been trying to become a luxury staple for years and that if it wasn't for the G they would probably be dead. Infiniti is just getting started thanks to the G and at the rate of their progression now they joined up with MB its sad to see some of you are doubtful. Imagine the possibilities, GT-R and AMG power combined with MB and Infiniti tech!? Sounds like the best of both worlds to me. I'm fantasizing right now... OMG

What AMG can bring to GT-R? It does go faster with a half size engine than most if not all AMG powered Mercedes.

It is not about innovation it is about saving money for both. I am not against it but not looking forward either.
