The engine

M139

2.0L Turbo I4

The hand-built M139 turbo-four is a giant-killer — in '45' tune it makes over 400 hp from 2.0 liters, spinning hard with a frantic, boosty intensity in AMG's compact hot models.

Built start-to-finish by one technician at Affalterbach, the M139 set the record as the world's most powerful series-production four-cylinder.
