Next-Generation AMG Could Include Hybrids
Mercedes has announced that they will be changing up the AMG class. They are working overtime trying to balance out high output with low emissions in an effective way. This means that we can expect to see more turbo, less displacement, and maybe even a hybrid.
Mercedes will be throwing out the 6.2 liter V8 engine and introducing the new 5.0 liter, twin turbo, V8 which will be designed to push out 570 horsepower and 665 pound-ft of torque. The output is said to hit 700 horsepower and 885 pound-ft of torque instead of the 612 horsepower V12 mil.
