The new V8 engine will feature a similar modular design that is used on the four-cylinder 2.0-L engine of the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG and the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. The two engines will use similar bore spacing, individual cylinder displacement, and other specs.
The modification will not reduce the power offered by the vehicle. The 4.0-L forced-induction engine will offer 450HP of power, although it will reportedly be capable of offering up to around 600HP of power.
In the long run, it will be used instead of the 5.5-L V8 of the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG. Although Mercedes-Benz AMG chief executive Ola Kallenius did not directly confirm the upcoming 4.0-L engine, he revealed that the company is set on offering smaller-sized engines at some point in the future.
Last November, international singing sensations Katy Perry and John Mayer were seen together on a romantic tour in Santa Barbara, the hometown of the female singer. They were spotted strolling down the two-century old church of Old Mission.
But as a Mercedes-Benz fan, what got us more star-struck was the car they entered into after getting some cold beverages. The 28-year old singer was sporting a vintage Mercedes-Benz Ponton convertible. A perfect choice for such a classy and sassy character.
From this angle, it seems like she is driving a 1957 Mercedes-Benz W180 220S Ponton Cabriolet. The W180 was released in mid-50s. It was recognized to be the first E-Class to be released to the public, although the company only started using the term "E-Class" in the 1980s.
Here are additional pictures of the versions of this vintage car without the voluptuous Katy Perry on the steering wheel:
