It appears that Mercedes-Benz is downsizing all V8 engines in its lineup for the 2011 model year. Mercedes is following BMW by moving towards smaller turbocharged V8 engines to increase fuel efficiency. In its AMG division, Mercedes is replacing the 6.2L v8 with a 5.5L turbocharged V8. Though Mercedes has yet to reveal the exact sizes of the new engines, expect displacement to run between 4.5L and 5.0L for its passenger cars.-Anthony Alaniz
