Mercedes-Benz's AMG division is considering a number of fuel sources that include diesel for its future cars. According to a Whatcar report, Oliver Wiech, AMG's product manager for the C-Class, E-Class, SLK and SL did not exclude the possible use of diesel power for upcoming models. "We are taking an open view and looking at lots of options," Wiech said, "but if you look at our announcement on the electric SLS, you can see what is in the future." That means electricity is a definite while others such as hydrogen, solar energy and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are possibly only secondary considerations. A 2008 report published in WCF speculated that a new C-Class AMG super diesel worth about 368kW (525hp) and 900Nm would be built by the year 2011 Новый C-класс AMG дизель с предпологаемыми характеристиками 368 кВт (525hp) и 900 нм, будет построен к году 2011 Началось!leasantry:

Now that AMG is no longer focused on chasing big horsepower numbers, efficiency could quickly become the new performance benchmark for the Affalterbach-based tuner. Audi has laid the groundwork for the acceptance of diesel powertrains in performance circles with its stunning V-10 and V-12 TDI powertrains, but now Mercedes-Benz tuner AMG is considering adding diesel models to its arsenal. Over the past couple of years, rumors have been circulating that AMG may launch a Bluetec turbodiesel SUV but since then nothing really has eventuated on that front. Those rumors came about following comments from AMG exec Volker Mornhinweg hinting that AMG has the opportunity for both hybrids and diesels in the near future. In 2013 AMG will launch an all-electric SLS, but before that we could see a diesel model sprung forth from the Affalterbach-based tuner. Speaking with What Car?, AMG product manager Oliver Wiech said: “We are taking an open view and looking at lots of options, but if you look at our announcement on the electric SLS, you can see what is in the future.” When quizzed about a diesel model, Wiech ruled nothing out.
