Mercedes-AMG GmbH, comúnmente conocido como AMG, es el nivel de división más alto de Mercedes-Benz. AMG desarrolla, manufactura y crea independientemente sus vehículos. La sede del Mercedes-AMG se encuentra en Affalterbach, Baden-Württemberg, Alemania. Originalmente la marca AMG era una firma automotriz especializada en las mejoras de rendimiento para los vehículos de Mercedes-Benz; Daimler-Benz AG tomo un control accionario en 1990 y en 2005 se volvió el único propietario de AMG. Mercedes-AMG GmbH es ahora una subsidiaria totalmente propiedad de él. Daimler AG.
AMG models typically have more aggressive looks, a higher level of performance, better handling, better stability and more extensive use of carbon fiber than their regular Mercedes counterparts.[2] AMG models are typically the most expensive and highest-performance of each Mercedes-Benz class.[2]
AMG variants are usually badged with two numerals, as opposed to regular Mercedes-Benz vehicles which have three.[3]
Mercedes has revealed the first official details on its latest sports car, called the AMG GT. The standard AMG GT will produce 456 bhp from its V8 engine. This allows for a 0-62 mph sprint time of four seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 189 mph. Meanwhile, the AMG GT S offers 503 bhp and has a quicker 0-62 mph sprint time of just 3.8 seconds. The limited top speed is slightly increased 193 mph. The Mercedes AMG GT will be launched to the UK market in April 2015.[4]
Historia

AMG fue fundada, por los antiguos ingenieros de Mercedes Hans Werner Aufrecht y Erhard Melcher en Burgstall an der Murr cerca de Stuttgart, como una fabrica de motores de carrera en 1976 bajo el nombre de AMG Motorenbau und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (AMG Engine Production and Development, Ltd.). Las siglas "AMG" significan Aufrecht, Melcher and Großaspach (la ciudad natal de Aufrecht). En 1976 la mayor parte de AMG se mudó a Affalterbach, pero el equipo de desarrollo de mottoes de carrera permaneció en Burgstall, su antigua ubicación. En este punto Erhard Melcher dejó de ser socio, pero siguió trabajando como empleado en la fabrica en Burgstall.
En 1993 cuando AMG se estaba convirtiendo en un proveedor de alto perfil de autos modificados Mercedes, Daimler-Benz AG y AMG firmaron un contrato de cooperación, en el cual se le permita a AMG aprovechar la gran red de agencias de Daimler-Benz y llegar a vehículos comunes (siendo el primero el Mercedes-Benz C63 en 1993). El primero de Enero de 1999 DaimlerChrysler, como se le llamó de 1998 a 2007, adquirió el 51 de las Acciones de AMG. Desde ese entonces AMG se renombre a Mercedes-Benz AMG GmbH.[5] El equipo de desarrrollo de motores de carreras sigue existiendo bajo el nombre HWA (Las iniciales de Aufrecht). El primero de Enero del 2005 Aufrecht vendió sus acciones sobrantes a DaimlerChrysler y desde entonces Mercedes-AMG GmbH ha sido una propiedad de Daimler AG.[1]
Desarrollo y Rango de Productos
[editar]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Ats_amgpenta.jpg/220px-Ats_amgpenta.jpg)
AMG empezó diseñando y probando motores de carreras. Después expandió su negocio al empezar a construir carros de calle "personalizados" basados en coche de Mercedes.
Inicialmente AMG produjo un variedad de paquetes de mejoras extra-oficiales primordialmente paralos modelos Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107,[6] Mercedes-Benz W116, Mercedes-Benz W123, Mercedes-Benz W124, Mercedes-Benz W126 Mercedes-Benz R129 y Mercedes-Benz W201.
Durante los principios de los 80's y hasta 1990, AMG ofreció una variedad de paquetes de rendimiento de motor, rines de aleación y productos de embellecimiento como una compañía completamente independiente de Daimler-Benz. En 1990 AMG firmó un acuerdo conDaimler-Benz, haciendo así que los paquetes y coches de AMG fueran mostrados en las salas de exposición de Mercedes-Benz; en 1999 Daimler AG, en ese entonces conocido como DaimlerChrysler AG, compró gran parte de las acciones de AMG y los hizo parte de la alineación oficial de Mercedes-Benz.[7]
Las típicas mejoras de AMG, que podían ser personalizadas sobre pedido por el cliente, incluían motores más grandes(5.2 litre, 5.4 litre), cubiertas y tomas de aire pulidas y cromadas. Se desarrolló el motor DOHC 32V el cual fue la cúspide del rendimiento AMG. Se podía ordenar una caja de velocidades manual de 5 velocidades de la marca Getrag, Mercedes ni AMG habían ofrecido una versión manual en un V8 desde los inicios de 1970.
Las llantas ofrecidos durante ese periodo fueron de 15 o 16 pulgadas ATS AMG Five Spoke Road Wheels, generalmente conocidos como Pentas. Penta era en realidad una empresa Inglesa que aprovechaba la alta demanda de fines AMG, ofreciendo una replica con una sola ligera variación en el estilo, pero no eran hechos o certificados por AMG. Las llantas ofrecidas por AMG incluían un paquete de suspensión que incluía amortiguadores recortados.
Otras mejoras cosméticas populares eran los paquetes de Carrocería AMG. Estos iban desde sutiles alerones, hasta un agresivo paquete para los W126 cupés. Otras opciones incluían asientos Recaro, volantes más chicos, opción sin cromo (todo pintado con colores brillantes o pintados en negro mate), sistema de sonido Hi-Fi e interiores de madera mejorados.
El Lanzamiento del AMG Hammer Sedan en 1986, basado en el W124 E-Class,llevó las modificaciones de rendimiento de AMG, de sedanes medianos a un nuevo nivel. AMG creó el sedan de passages más rápido del mundo en ese entrances , apodado "The Hammer",[8] al lograr meter un motor Mercedes 5.6-litre V8 modificado por AMG a 360 hp en un sedan mediano. Fue muy revolucionario para su época, con cilindros de 32 valvular y un doble árbol de levas, decía ser más rápido que el Lamborghini Countach de 60 a 120 mph.[9] Modelos posteriores fueron aún más poderosos e introdujeron las llantas AMG Aero 1 Hammer de 17 pulgadas.En 1986 Mercedes también introdujo el motor 560 M117.
Through the early 2000s, AMG focused principally on supercharged V8 and V6 engines, but the company officially abandoned this technology in 2006 with the introduction of the naturally aspirated 6.2 L M156 V8. On 16 January 2006, Mercedes-AMG Chairman Volker Mornhinweg told AutoWeek that the company would use turbocharging for higher output rather than supercharging. For 2011, AMG released the M157 5.5L biturbo V8 which has supplanted the M156 in its full-sized cars such as the S-Class and CL-Class (and is trickling down to the CLS, E-Class and ML-class). In 2012, Mercedes-AMG Chairman Olla Kallenius said that Mercedes-AMG will not produce diesel engines to compete with BMW's tri-turbo diesels (BMW M Performance range).[10]

Although there were some AMG models in the 1980s with manual transmissions, almost all recent models have used automatics (5G-Tronic and later 7G-Tronic with Speedshift), in contrast to BMW M which used manuals and recently semi-automatic transmissions (the current type being a dual clutch transmission). Starting in 2009, however, AMG began adopting the seven-speed AMG SpeedShift MCT automatic transmission.
Although these are considered the most well known in-house tuning divisions, Mercedes-AMG has a considerably different philosophy than BMW M. Mercedes-AMG has created high-performance versions of many of its nameplates, including flagship sedans and SUVs, while BMW M has emphasized tuning only vehicles with "Lateral agility" (which has long been only their 3 Series, 5 Series, and roadsters).[11] Compared to BMW M, Mercedes-AMG is "less narrow in its sporting focus, yet still combining sledgehammer performance with relaxed handling, cultured comfort, and practicality".[12]
While founders Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher had emphasized proper racing cars, Mercedes-AMG had diverged considerably from this philosophy in recent years, with their offerings being well known for straight-line acceleration but poor handling dynamics. However, current Mercedes-AMG chairman Volker Mornhinweg has urged the division to return to its roots of building sports cars.[13]
Motores de Carrera
[editar]In the late 1960s and early 1970s, AMG entered the big Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 V8 saloon, affectionately named the "Red Sow", in the 1971 Spa 24 Hours, and the European Touring Car Championship. AMG and Mercedes worked together on Mercedes-Benz W201 cars for the 1988 Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM, German Touring Car Championship). AMG was made the official partner.
When DaimlerChrysler acquired a majority share of AMG in 1999, the motor racing department was divested into HWA AG. Their first car was the ill-fated Mercedes-Benz CLR. Since 2000, HWA builds and runs the cars for Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM), as well as the M271 engine tuned for use in Formula 3.

Six successive lightly modified Mercedes-Benz AMG models (including, most recently, an SL 63 AMG) have acted as the safety cars for the FIA Formula One World Championship.
Since 2010, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3s has been competing in GT competitions around the world, such as the FIA GT3 European Championship, Blancpain Endurance Series, Blancpain Sprint Series, VLN, 24 Hours of Nurburgring, British GT Championship, Super GT, Australian GT Championship, Bathurst 12 Hour, Dubai 24 Hour, Macau GT Cup and Pirelli World Challenge.
In late 2011, after the close of the Formula 1 season, Mercedes GP Petronas announced that it would be using the AMG branding for its Formula 1 efforts, changing its name to Mercedes AMG Petronas for the 2012 season onwards.[14]
Three AMG E Class V8 Supercars will compete in the Australian V8 Supercars Championship from 2013, with the newly formed partnership of Erebus Motorsport and Stone Brothers Racing Teams operating under a Customer Sports Program of AMG.[15]
Relationship with Pagani
[editar]AMG also provides engines for the Zonda and Huayra cars. The engines used are variants of the M120 7,291 cc displacement V12 engine originally used in the 1995 SL73 AMG. The M120 is the largest displacement naturally aspirated engine provided by AMG and is now exclusively used by Pagani.
Relationship with Aston Martin
[editar]On July 25, 2013, Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. announced moves towards a technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG GmbH. A Letter of Intent to this end was signed the same today and both parties are working towards signing definitive agreements before the end of the year. Such agreements are subject to applicable regulatory approvals. The proposed deal will see Aston Martin access significant Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Mercedes-Benz Cars' resources, allowing the development of bespoke V8 powertrains and the use of certain components of electric/electronic (e/e) architecture. Daimler AG owns a stake of up to five per cent non-voting shares in Aston Martin depending on the progress of the agreement. The company will join the existing shareholders that include Investment DAR, Adeem Investment and Investindustrial. The technical partnership will support Aston Martin’s launch of a new generation of models that will incorporate cutting edge technology and newly developed bespoke V8 powertrains.[16][17][18]
Current AMG models
[editar]All AMG engines are hand built, using a "one man, one engine" philosophy at the current AMG plant in Affalterbach, Germany. To signify this, each AMG engine builder stamps the engines they produce with an engraved plaque depicting their signature. According to Mercedes-Benz, there are only about 50 AMG engine builders.[19]
As part of the official Mercedes product line, the AMG models are sold side-by-side with regular production models, unlike those offered by other Mercedes tuning firms such as Brabus.
"45" M133 2.0 L Inline-4 Turbo
[editar]The 2.0 L Turbo I4 was created for use in the smaller, 45 AMG models, such as the A-Class, CLA-Class, and GLA-Class, which all share the same platform. The M133 produces 355 hp and 332 ft-lb,[20] making it the most powerful turbo 4-cylinder in production, and with a 181 horsepower per liter, one of the most power dense engines in production.[21] Models with the M133 Turbo 4 are paired with a 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT Dual-Clutch Transmission. The CLA45 AMG can accelerate from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, according to Motor Trend's first test of the vehicle.[22]
"55" M152 5.5 L V8
[editar]The M152 is a naturally aspirated, detuned version of the M157 Biturbo V8. This V8 will be used for the 2012 SLK55 AMG, and it produces 415 hp and 398 lb-ft.[23]
"63" M156 6.2 L V8
[editar]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/2012_Mercedes-Benz_E_63_AMG_%28W_212_MY12%29_sedan_%282012-10-26%29_01.jpg/220px-2012_Mercedes-Benz_E_63_AMG_%28W_212_MY12%29_sedan_%282012-10-26%29_01.jpg)
AMG developed its own V8 engine (dubbed M156 in development) for the DTM series. The M156 produces 451 horsepower and 443 ft-lbs of torque. The M156, in various states of tune, was used in models such as the SL63, E63, CLS63, and S63 until it was replaced by the M157 5.5 L Biturbo V8.
- M156 L 6.2 V8 models currently in production
In 2009, AMG developed the M159 engine which is based on the M156 engine, to be used in SLS AMG. The M159 produces 583 horsepower and 489 lb-ft of torque in the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT, and 622 horsepower and 468 lb-ft in the SLS AMG Black Series.[24][25]
"63" M157 5.5 L V8 BiTurbo
[editar]Rumoured in 2009 and confirmed in 2010, AMG developed the M157, a 5.5-litre V8 with direct fuel injection and twin turbochargers. Power is rated at up to 577 bhp (430 kW; 585 PS) at 5,250-5,750rpm with a peak torque of 664 lb·ft (900 N·m) made between 2,000rpm and 4,500rpm (the amount of power and torque depends on model, but these are the maximum ratings).[26][27] Both engines will be mated to Mercedes-Benz's 7-speed MCT transmission.[28][29][30]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Mercedes-Benz_C218_CLS_63_AMG_front.jpg/220px-Mercedes-Benz_C218_CLS_63_AMG_front.jpg)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Silver_Mercedes-Benz_E_63_AMG_%28S212%29_fr.jpg/220px-Silver_Mercedes-Benz_E_63_AMG_%28S212%29_fr.jpg)
Unlike the M156 naturally aspirated 6.2 L V8 which was developed entirely within AMG, the M157 is based upon the M278 that will be found in the regular Mercedes-Benz S-Class and CL-Class.[31] The M157 boasts 25% better fuel economy (10.5 litres per 100 kilometres versus 14.4 L/100 km in the European driving cycle) over the M156, meaning it will avoid the US Gas Guzzler Tax for the first time ever, despite having up to 47 horsepower more. The M157's increased torque from both the regular version and performance package means the engine can be shifted into a taller gear sooner, keeping engine revs and fuel consumption to a minimum. The new M157 will have an engine start/stop mode and is lightweight at 204 kg.[28][29][30] The M157 is said to be ideal for powering full-size sedans such as the S-Class, but the older M156 will continue to be produced as its more precise throttle response is still well suited to smaller sportier models (the C-Class), until the 2015 model arrives, which will be powered by a 4.0 liter V8.[32]
5.5 L V8 BiTurbo models will carry the "63" model designation, shared with the 6.2L V8 models.[33] Visually, the 2011 S63 AMG is differentiated from the 2010 model (itself face-lifted over the 2009 S63) by the more angular design of the chromed dual exhaust tips, which also sport embossed AMG logos, as well as new forged wheels.[34] For the CL63 AMG, the new M157 engine coincides with the facelift of the CL-Class for the 2011 model year.
Despite common belief, 63 AMG models are typically faster than their 65 AMG counterparts. An S63 AMG accelerates faster and handles better than an S65 AMG (due to 4-wheel drive and decreased weight), and an SL63 AMG accelerates faster than an SL65 AMG due to decreased torque, lower weight, and better balance by use of the V8.[35][36]
Since 2013, AMG models with the S-Model package feature all-wheel drive, which allows for better handling and better acceleration.The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG S has been tested to accelerate to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, with a quarter mile time of 11.6 seconds.[37] This makes it the quickest production sedan. MotorTrend tested the 2014 E63 AMG S with the M157 engine to produce an estimated 676 bhp (504 kW; 685 PS) and 631 lb·ft (856 N·m).[38]

"65" M275 6.0 L V12 BiTurbo
[editar]The models listed below are powered by a variant of the Mercedes-Benz M275 engine.
The AMG power-plant has an all-new design of the bi-turbo system, which features larger turbochargers and a new, more powerful charge-air cooling system, and the increase in the engine displacement (to 5980 cc) as well as many other engine design measures.[39] This allows it to produce a claimed 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque.
"65" models used a 5-speed automatic transmission for a long time, as the newer 7G-Tronic wasn't able to handle the torque from the V12 engines. This was changed with the introduction of 2012 SL65 AMG which uses the same AMG SpeedShift MCT transmission as the rest of the AMG line-up.[40]
Coinciding with the facelift of the CL-Class for the 2011 model year, the 2011 CL65 AMG will have an enhanced engine, with AMG redesigning the exhaust gas turbochargers and adding new engine electronics. It will now make 621 horsepower, and go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than the 2011 CL63), with an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. The update will also improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions by 3.5% over the outgoing model.[41][42]
M178 4.0 L V8 BiTurbo
[editar]The 4-liter M178 V8 uses a unique configuration where the position of the intake and exhaust are reversed. This "hot inside v" configuration, as AMG calls it, has the exhaust gasses exiting into the central v area of the engine block where the engine's twin turbochargers are also mounted. This allows for a more compact design.
Black Series
[editar]The AMG Performance Studio located in Affalterbach is responsible for the upgrades which make an AMG into an AMG Black Series model. The Black Series treatment is only available on 2 door vehicles, which includes weight reduction, bucket seats, exterior alterations, interior alterations, higher power, greater traction, handling, and significantly greater overall performance. Black Series models are known as street legal race cars.
The SLS AMG Black Series was tested by Motor Trend to have a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds, and a quarter mile time of 11.1 seconds at 129.8 mph. The SLS AMG Black Series "demolished" the Motor Trend figure eight in just 23.1 seconds, beating the McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Plus, and the SRT Viper.[43] The SLS AMG Black Series is currently the 22nd fastest car to lap the Nürburgring.[44] The SLS AMG Black Series had the same 1:19 time as the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce, the Ferrari Enzo, and beat the Ferrari 458 Italia, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, Porsche 997 GT2, and Nissan GT-R around the Top Gear test track.[45]
Electric Drive
[editar]In 2013, Mercedes-AMG announced the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive, which was to be the first zero emissions vehicle from AMG. The vehicle used technology derived from Formula 1, and was the fastest electric car.[19] The SLS AMG Electric Drive has 740 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, and Mercedes-AMG claims a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds.[24]

"32" 3.2 L V6 Kompressor
[editar]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/2003MY_UK_version_of_C32_Estate_%28S203%29_in_Brilliant_Silver._Photo_Oct_2012.jpg/220px-2003MY_UK_version_of_C32_Estate_%28S203%29_in_Brilliant_Silver._Photo_Oct_2012.jpg)
Powertrain consists of AMG Speedshift 5-speed automatic transmission mated to an AMG 3.2-litre V6 Kompressor engine with an output of 260 kW/349 hp and 332 lb·ft (450 N·m) @ 4,400 rpm. The engine is a special version of the 3.2 L (3199 cc) M112 E32, fitted with a helical twin-screw supercharger and water-to-air intercooler. The supercharger was developed in conjunction with IHI and features Teflon-coated rotors producing overall boost of 14.5 psi (1 bar). Compared to the standard M112 engine, the AMG version also has a new crankshaft, new con rods and pistons, an oil pump with a 70-percent increased capacity, lightweight camshafts, and harder valve springs for a redline of 6200 rpm, an increase of 200 rpm.[46]
While rival BMW M developed the SMG II semi-automatic for the BMW M3, the C32 and SLK32 have a 5-speed automatic transmission’s “Speedshift” system which now has quicker response (up to 35 percent) to accelerator and shift selector movements.[47]
Interestingly, the C32 had a smaller engine than its predecessors, the C36 AMG with the M104 3.6L I6 engine, and the C43 AMG powered by the M113 4.3L V8 engine. The C32 AMG can do 0–60 mph in 5.2sec 0–100 in 12.6 with a 1/4 mile of 13.6@106 mph (C&D comparison test May 2003)[48][49]

"55" 5.4 L V8
[editar]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/2004MY_CL55_Kompressor._Photo_Jan_2012.jpg/220px-2004MY_CL55_Kompressor._Photo_Jan_2012.jpg)
This model was nicknamed the "Hammer" after the original 1986 AMG Hammer (a W124 E-Class sedan with an AMG-tuned 360 hp 5.6-litre V8). The 2000 E55 AMG could do 0–60 mph in 4.9 seconds and took 13.3 seconds to run the standing quarter mile.[50]
The main engine is a 5.4 L V8 engine This engine comes in two configurations.
- The first configuration is a naturally aspirated V8 with 360 PS (260 kW; 360 hp) that is used in the C55 AMG, CLK55 AMG, SLK55 AMG, and ML55 AMG. The C43 AMG (model years 1998–2000) was powered by a naturally aspirated V8 engine from the M113 family, but at a reduced displacement of 4.3L, hence the '43' designation.
- The other configuration is a similar unit but with a highly efficient Lysholm type twin screw supercharger. manufactured by Eaton, is found in the rest of the AMG 55 models which are typically midsized or larger vehicles. The published output according to Mercedes varies from 476 PS (350 kW; 469 hp) to 517 PS (380 kW; 510 hp) and 700 N·m (520 lb·ft) to 720 N·m (530 lb·ft), depending on various methods of power measurements and different ECU programming for national legislations. For instance, the E55 AMG's engine was at the low end, nonetheless it was still Mercedes-Benz's fastest sedan at the time,[51] while the SL55 AMG's engine had the top output.[52][53] Mercedes has claimed that a more restrictive exhaust system was responsible for cutting output on the E55 AMG, however some enthusiasts have managed to bump up horsepower to 505 on the E55 by incorporating some parts from the SL55.[54]
The supercharged 5.4 L 32 valve V8 engine was mated to the Speedshift 5-speed automatic transmission, which has a torque capacity of 796 lb·ft (1,079 N·m), as the newer 7G-Tronic introduced in 2003 is limited to 542 lb·ft (735 N·m), not enough to handle the torque from the supercharged V8.[40][55]
The V8 S55 AMG had comparable output to the V12-powered S600 throughout their production. The S55 AMG (2001–02) was outfitted with a 5.4 L 354 hp (264 kW) V8 motor while the later versions (2003–06) sported the same motor, but supercharged to a rated 493 hp (368 kW). The S600 (2001–02) was outfitted with a 5.8L 362 hp (270 kW) V12 engine while the later versions (2003–06) sported a twin-turbocharged (or Bi-Turbo) 493 hp (368 kW) 5.5L V12. The justification for having two models with the same power is that the S55 AMG is sportier and more responsive, while the costlier S600 is more luxurious with a smoother ride.
AMG phased out both the naturally aspirated and supercharged 5.4 L engines in favor of the new M156 V8 beginning in 2006, which was paired with 7G-Tronic. However, some enthusiasts were disappointed because the M156 produces less torque than the M113K (which is supercharged).[56]
For the Model Year 2009:
- M113 5.4 L "55" V8 models (naturally aspirated)
- M113 5.4 L "55" V8 models (supercharged)

"63" M137 6.3 L V12
[editar]The "63" badging was used on the short-lived 2001 S63 AMG and 2001 CL63 AMG. These were produced in limited quantities for one month and only offered through AMG to select customers in Europe and Asia, purportedly state leaders. The CL63 AMG was the rarest W215 CL of all, and just 26 examples were built in November 2001 (51 plate), with some UK being registered in March 2002. These had a base price of £110,000 (~US$200,000).[57][58][59]
These are powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3L V12 producing 444 PS (438 hp/327 kW). This engine is based on the M137 5.8L V12 used in the S600 and CL600, but the AMG variants have a larger displacement, a new management system, a new crank case and cooling system, weight-optimized pistons, and a new camshaft with greater valve lift and modified valves. 390 lb·pie (528,8 N·m) of torque are available between 2500–5800rpm with a peak of 457 at 4400 rpm while horsepower grows by almost 80 over the 5.8L V12. It is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The 2001 S63 AMG V12 had 100 hp more than the 2001 S55 AMG, and was a few tenths faster.[57][58]
"60", "73", "70", "55"
[editar]The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (R129) had several AMG variants during its production run from 1989 to 2001.
The SL 60 AMG was the most numerous of these rare cars. Sold from 1993 to 1998, it used a 6.0 litre V8 engine producing 381 CV (280,2 kW; 375,8 HP) at 5500 rpm.[60] AMG claimed a 0–62 mph (100 km/h) speed of 5.6 seconds. Its top speed was limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), but with the limiter removed, it was capable of approximately 185 mph (298 km/h). AMG later unofficially conceded that 0–60 mph was more like 5.0 seconds and the engine produced between 405–410 bhp.
Extremely rare was the SL 73 AMG, sold through Mercedes-AMG in 1995, and offering the most powerful V12 engine ever put into an SL up to that time. After a brief hiatus, the SL73 was offered again from 1998 to 2001. The same 7.3 L V12 was later used by Pagani in the Zonda.
Even rarer is the SL 70 AMG (7.0 L (7055 cc) V12 engine).
The SL 55 AMG was sold in the R129 bodystyle from 1998 to 2001 in limited numbers (5.4L V8, 354 CV (260,4 kW; 349,2 HP) at 5500 rpm). It was the predecessor of the production R230 SL55 AMG sold later, albeit was normally aspirated in the R129 and not supercharged as in its R230 successor.
"63" M156 6.2 L V8
[editar]The "63" M156 is currently in production in the C63 AMG, and tuned as the M159 in the SLS AMG, although there were many models that were previously in production.
This naturally aspirated V8 will also be used to replace most of the "55" models. The published output according to Mercedes varies from 457 PS (336 kW; 451 hp) on the C63 AMG, to 525 PS (386 kW; 518 hp) on the C/CLK/R/ML/GL/S/SL/CL/E 63 AMG.
The 2008 S63/CL63/SL63s that used the M156 engine at 518 horsepower edged out that of the S600/CL600/SL600, the latter powered by the 510 horsepower 5.5-liter twin-turbo V12, while also having a higher redline. However, the S600/CL600/SL600 are more expensive and have more torque at 612 pies·libra fuerza (829,8 N·m).[61] The S63/CL63/SL63 however do have quicker acceleration times than their S600/CL600/SL600 counterparts and are the fastest in the lineup in 2014, due to the added weight and torque of the 65s, thus decreasing the 0-60 times and the handling limits.
Compared to the "55" supercharged 5.4 L V8 engine which was restricted to the Speedshift 5G-Tronic five-speed automatic transmission as it had a torque capacity of 796 lb·pie (1079,2 N·m), the reduced torque of the "63" M156 6.2L V8 enables it to be mated with the more efficient 7G-Tronic which can withstand a limit of 542 lb·pie (734,9 N·m). Despite the reduction in torque, the increased horsepower and more efficient transmission enables the "63" models to match or surpass the acceleration of the "55" models.[40] Most of the M156-engined models used the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission, however the more recent 2009 SL63, 2010 E63, and 2012 C63 use the 7-speed MCT transmission.
