I may be steping into hot water but i think a 450hp V8 would be sweet. I love turbo moters and all but something about N/A power i love it more, no lag it just sorta punches you in the face.

Gotta love a good punch in the face :D Hehe, no I do agree. I like NA power also. But they should offer a turbo model, or it just wouldn't be like the old ones. Or they could do something cool that everyone else is afraid to do and actually make something different, along the same premise with the same name. Might actually be a big hit.. we'll just have to see how the actual car ends up. :D Concepts are always so radical, then the real thing is quite toned down.

An N/A engine is usually more cost-effective than a forced-induction engine, mostly because of longevity and service issues. Wonder if that's why the new AMG Mercs don't use the Kompressor engines anymore...
