The World of AMG Engines: A Comprehensive Look at the latest Mercedes-AMG Powerplants

Holden has got back end out, and it's actually really easy to do because you've got a decent length wheelbase in this saloon and you've got a 7-speed dual-clutch auto control which will get this car to 60 in just 4 seconds. This is a great starting point for our look at the latest Mercedes-AMG engines, but we're not going to stop there. We'll delve into the world of AMG engines and explore the different models, their specifications, and how they perform in real-world driving.

One of the newest AMG engines is the M1 7.8-liter V8 Biturbo, used in the C63 AMG GT models. This engine is available in various states of tune, ranging from 462 horsepower to 510 horses in these S models. However, the AMG GTS has a whopping 650 Newton meters of torque, while the C-Class has an impressive 700 Newton meters. With plenty of grunt to play with, this engine is perfect for those who want to light up the rear tires.

Another notable AMG engine is the M157 5.5-liter Biturbo V8, used in the largest 63 AMG models such as the SLC. This engine produces 585 horsepower and 760 Newton meters of torque, making it one of the most powerful AMG engines available. However, some variants, like the CLS, can produce an astonishing 800 Newton meters of torque. With its massive power output and multi-collector 7-speed automatic transmission, this engine is capable of launching even the heaviest cars to incredible speeds.

But what about the ultimate AMG engine? That would be the M2 7.5-liter V12 Biturbo, used in the S 65 coupe. This beast of an engine delivers a staggering 630 horsepower and 1000 Newton meters of torque, making it one of the most powerful production engines available. With power going to the rear wheels through a 7-speed shift MCT gearbox, this engine is capable of accelerating from 0-62 miles per hour in just 4.1 seconds.

Of course, not all AMG engines are hand-built by one person. The latest addition to the lineup is the A43 range of AMG models, such as the SLC 43. While they're not mass-produced like some other AMG engines, they still pack a punch. The A43 engine, tuned by AMG but not hand-built by one man, produces a healthy 367 horsepower and 520 Newton meters of torque, making it perfect for those who want to experience the thrill of an AMG engine without breaking the bank.

Finally, we have to talk about the sound of these engines. Each AMG engine has its own unique character, and some are more exciting to listen to than others. The A45's 3-liter Biturbo V6 is a sweet little engine that likes to rev and give a great sound, while the larger engines offer a deeper rumble that's hard to resist.

But how do these engines perform in real-world driving? We put the A45 through its paces and were impressed by its agility and responsiveness. With traction being such an important factor, we also explored how different AMG engines handle in launch scenarios. It's clear that traction is crucial when it comes to launching a car quickly.

In conclusion, the world of AMG engines is a vast and exciting one, with something for everyone. From the smallest A45 engine to the largest M2 V12 Biturbo, each model offers a unique driving experience that's sure to thrill even the most seasoned drivers. Whether you're looking for raw power or a more agile handling, there's an AMG engine out there that's perfect for you.
