Really interesting fact ... seem like the inside source from the german m-forum was right as he tells me, that the new S55 (205kg!) would be a little bit heavier than the ongoing S65 (202kg!).
Seem logical ... if you compare the engine netto weights, an 3.0ltr.I6 is probably lighter than an 4.0ltr.V8, but in gross weight an BiTurbo with racetrack proof cooling need many heavy cooling parts ánd its never less an great weight saving effort to make him in nearly the same weight class als an proven lightweight V8.
