Mercedes Benz is finally catching on, BOOST IS GREEAATTTTT!!!!
Now, if they can only slap on AWD, a 7 speed gearbox, and lose 800-1000 lbs, then I'd say they built themselves a real sportscar.

The article states that they actually de-tuned the engine slightly as they didn't have a transmission that could handle all that torque.
738 pounds of torque at 2,000 rpm. wow.
