i saw an article about this car in car and driver magazine, and it says that they are detuning an engine that can produce 885lbs of torque down to 627lbs because they start to lose traction at 553lbs... go figure

Sounds dodgy to me, AFAIK it is an AMG v12 and they were naturally aspitated so it would be impossible to change the torque by such a large margin.

The new v12 was "detuned" from over 1000ft/lbs to 738 because they couldn't keep a gearbox behind it.
