I would like to see an M version of this new V12 though. 700hp should be possible if they apply the same tune as they have in going from N63->S63.
700hp or thereabout should definitely be possible. The MB S600 which introduced the 493hp bi-turbo engine back in 2003 can be tuned by Renntech to produce 640hp and 775 torque, while the S65 which has a 6.0L engine goes up to 685/870 respectively.
