As we were mentioning then, the M156 engine from the AMG station wagon bellow sports a 3.25-liter supercharger and a bunch of other modifications, which bring its total power output to a pretty-respectable 780 hp and 830 Nm (612 lb ft) of torque.
The list of mods is:
3.25l supercharger including intercooler
Complete transmission upgrade including hardware & software
Cylinder head machining, including camshaft profile and compaction reduction
mc660 basic supercharger system adaptation
Complete exhaust system including sport exhaust manifold and sport catalysts
Software Setup

Alex handled his first real steering wheel at the age of five (on a field) and started practicing "Scandinavian Flicks" at 14 (on non-public gravel roads).
