4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

AMG's hand-built 4.0-liter 'hot-vee' twin-turbo V8 is the soul of modern Affalterbach — thunderous, hard-hitting, and endlessly characterful, from the GT sports car to the G63 and 63-badged super-saloons.

Each engine is assembled start-to-finish by a single technician under AMG's 'One Man, One Engine' philosophy, the builder's name fixed to the cam cover on a signature plaque.

Every AMG V8 wears a plaque signed by the one technician who hand-built it.
The turbos sit inside the V of the engine ('hot-inside-vee') for sharper throttle response.
