OT: Seems like the new E55 will be impressive... so much so they MB is bumping hp on the SL55...

From AutoExpress...<br> <br> SL Is Recalled To Get Extra Power<br> <br> <br> t's red faces all round at Mercedes – engineers are going back to the drawing board after they realised the SL55 AMG wasn't as fast as the new hot E-Class. Not yet launched in Britain, the 476bhp supercharged convertible went on sale in Germany in February. Around 100 had been delivered when production was halted for six weeks to uprate engines to 500bhp.<br> <br> This move ensured the SL55, the flagship of the AMG range, wasn't overshadowed by the next performance E-Class. The E will use the same engine, but as it's lighter and more aerodynamic than the SL, it had proved quicker in testing. <br> <br>
