  • Pricey scheduled servicing
  • Big footprint on twisty roads

The engine

M177

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

AMG's hand-built 4.0-liter hot-vee twin-turbo V8 delivers thunderous, characterful muscle with a hard-edged bark — the engine that defines modern Affalterbach in cars like the SL and E63.

Assembled start-to-finish by a single technician under AMG's 'One Man, One Engine' creed, its builder's signature fixed to the engine on a plaque.
