Factory G with 600 hp, lol  -  maybe they developed a kit that handles high speed cornering ?

 would one lose the permanent 4x4 system at the BHP? Not sure it would qualify as a true G in my Book HOWEVER if someone wanted to treat me to one as a gift, I would accept!

I don´t think there is going to be a V12 (factory)engine in the G anytime soon.
 
Accoring to my 2 sources from Daimler, in the summer/autumn of 2012 the current M113 5.5 Kompressor engine will be replaced by the M157 5.5 litre biturbo engine from the new S/E63 with about 550 Hp and over 800 Nm of torque.
