The production of an AMG M139 Engine Plant in 20 minutes
- 5 years ago
The four-cylinder will provide in the compact models of Mercedes-AMG in two power levels for highly agile propulsion: with 310 kW (421 hp) as so-called S-model and with 285 kW (387 hp) in the basic variant The AMG performance models with V8 engine already proven and meets even better the individual customer requirements.
In addition to the pure performance figures, the new engine impresses with its spontaneous response. For this purpose, the torque curve was elaborately tuned ("torque shaping"): The maximum value of 500 Newton meters (480 Newton meters in the basic version) is available in the range of 5,000-5,250 / min (4,750-5,000 / min in the basic version). With this design, the AMG engineers achieved a naturally aspirated engine-like power delivery that further enhances the emotional driving experience. The engine developers were able to realize a dynamically increasing torque curve in the lower engine speed range and thus improve drivability. The growing torque at higher speeds increases the revving of the engine. In addition, the high maximum speed (up to 7,200 rpm) emphasizes the sports engine character of the M 139.
