Mercedes-AMG recently presented a new technological marvel that sits at the very heart of the new 2015 Mercedes Benz AMG GT; the powerful yet efficient AMG 4 liter V8 engine biturbo engine. The technology that went into the development of the new 2015 Mercedes AMG GT 4.0 liter V-8 biturbo engine is as a result of Mercedes AMG timeless involvement in motorsports at the highest level. The technology has been transferred from Formula-1 and DTM racing cars and optimized for daily use in the production of numerous vehicles, including; the 2014 CLA-Class, 2015 GLA-Class and the brand new 2015 AMG GT high performance vehicle.

Long Tradition
Aside from delivering a motorsport inspired punch, the new sports car engine is following in the tradition of core competence of AMG at their Affalterbach, Germany plant. The plant has been a trendsetter in the innovation and production of high performance engines. The AGM racing saloon cars are technically based on the Mercedes Benz SEL 6.3 which ran on a M100 V8 engine, the engine initially eked an output reaching 250hp at 4000rpm and a high speed of 124 mph before it was later upgraded. ...
... The luxury sedan was for a long time Germans fastest production car for regular use.

Power and Efficiency
The Mercedes-AMG GT and the Mercedes-AMG GR V-8 closely matches the AMG 2.0 liter turbo engine fitted in the CLA 45, A 45 AMG and GLA 45 AMG which is today, the most popular powerful 4-Cylinder engine in production globally. These engines are all fitted with same stroke/bore ratio designed to ensure high revving ability, in addition to using 3rd generation direct gas injection that comes with built in piezo injectors. The highly economical and efficient AMG 4.0 liter V8 biturbo is built in according to the stipulated 2016 Euro 6-Emissions Standard and maximum particulate emission level. The powerful engine also incorporates a number of sophisticated peripheral solutions that includes:

Eco-start or stop function and alternator unit designed to ensure high fuel economy.
Auxiliary fittings that are effectively powered by two short minimal friction belts with four grooves. The strategic positioning of the auxiliary units is designed to neutralize the belt forces on the crankshaft.
Active engine mounts made to produce perfect lateral dynamics, in addition to driving comfort.
Two large flywheels with centrifugal pendulum designed to eliminate the occurrence of torsional vibration while driving in order to ensure a smooth ride.

The stability of the new AMG 4.0 literV8 engine is derived from the use of lightweight forged pistons and rigid crankcase. The inner cylinder walls are lined with innovative Nanoslide coating to help reduce friction losses; the system also features a dry sump lubrication technology. The front mid-engine does not utilize the conventional oil pan, it instead it moves the engine to the center of gravity and closer to the road. The resulting effect is high lateral acceleration and significant improvement in the driving dynamics. To keep the unit mutual compacted; the engines two turbochargers are located inside the hot inner V8 engine compartment. The precision routing of fresh air from the atmosphere into the exhaust turbo chargers provides an exceptional engine response and driving thrill.

Innovation and Craftsmanship
The AMG 4.0 liter V8 biturbo engine is made according to the traditional Daimler principle “One man, one engine”. This principle is evident in the handcrafted biturbo V-8 which boasts 510 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft. of torque, together with excellent fuel efficiency, high power to weight ratio a compact design, high power to weight ratio and a unique AMG sound. The highly qualified fitters at the Affalterbach assembly plant follow some of the strictest quality standards laid down by the industry. The fitter’s signatures that normally appear on the AMG engine plate is testament to quality assurance and outstanding technological innovation.
