The engine

M139l

2.0L Turbo I4 Hybrid

AMG's longitudinal 2.0-liter hybrid four uses an electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and a rear electric motor for ferocious, lag-free response — Formula 1 technology shrunk into a road car.

The hand-built M139 is the most powerful series-production four ever; in '43' and '63' hybrid guise it borrows the electrified turbo straight from Mercedes' F1 power units.
