AMG GT R Coupé „The Beast of the Green Hell“.

Back in the days the visual update for the AMG GT coupé and roadster includes new front and tail lamps as well as a new design idiom for the tailpipe trims.

The new light controls of the LED High Performance headlights now display parallels with the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé and therefore further strengthen the AMG GT family connection with the two-door models. A tri-functional, arched light guide takes on the functions of daytime running light, navigation light and turn signals.

The light of the LED tail lights also appears even deeper set and sportier through the dark background.

From the back the new look of the rear apron is striking, its sporty black diffuser insert was redesigned for the AMG GT, AMG GT S and AMG GT C. The twin tailpipe trims are now adapted to the lines of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé ‑ round on the AMG GT and trapezoidal on the AMG GT S and AMG GT C. The rear design of the AMG GT R keeps its distinctive shape.

The AMG GT and AMG GT S are getting a new black grained sill cover on the bottom section. This makes for an extra-dynamic look. In conjunction with optional exterior packages, trim elements add individual highlights in high-gloss black, matt black, high-gloss chrome or carbon fibre.

Also, on request, the AMG GT and AMG GT S are available with a new y-spoke light-alloy wheel in matt black with a high-sheen finish. In addition, as an option for the AMG GT, AMG GT S and AMG GT C new 10-twin-spoke forged wheels in titanium grey with high-sheen finishes or in matt black with a high-sheen rim flange are available.

AMG GT Black Series „The Endgame“.

Back in the days, the most powerful AMG V8 series engine of all time, the most expressive design, the most elaborate aerodynamics, the most intelligent material mix, the most distinctive driving dynamics: For the new Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series (combined fuel consumption 12.8 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 292 g/km)[1], the Affalterbach designers have pulled out all the stops when it comes to the art of vehicle design.

The super sports car perfectly embodies the brand’s rich tradition in motorsport, as well its many years of expertise in developing complete vehicles which impress in every respect. The result is an output of 537 kW (730 hp) from a V8 engine with a ‚flat‘ crankshaft, combined with active aerodynamics and a design which stems directly from the current AMG GT3 racing car.

Different designs of V8 engines. The design of a V8 engine gives designers plenty of room to play with in one key element: the crank arrangement on the crankshaft. The result is the most powerful V8 series engine from Mercedes-AMG.

The GT Black Series engine may be based on the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with dry sump lubrication, but it has been given the new internal code M178 LS2 due to the numerous modifications. It achieves 730hp at 6700-6900 rpm and delivers a maximum torque of 800Nm at 2000-6000 rpm. New camshafts and exhaust manifolds are adapted to the new firing order and further improve the gas cycle.

Both twin scroll exhaust turbochargers are mounted in anti-friction bearings, as in the top-of-the-range four-door AMG GT Coupé, which optimises their throttle response even further. However, in the Black Series, the turbochargers have been given a larger compressor wheel, meaning that both can deliver a total of 1100 kg air per hour.

AMG G63 4x4² „Nuthin but a G thang“.

The AMG G63 4x4² brings driving performance to the segment of unadulterated off-road vehicles in unexpected form.

The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine generates 430KW (585HP) in this model, and delivers a maximum torque of 850Nm. This is available across a wide rev range between 2.500 and 3.500 rpm, and provides a sense of effortless superiority. It absolves a sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 5 seconds.

The two turbochargers are not positioned on the outside of the cylinder banks, but inside the cylinder „V“. Advantages: a compact engine design, spontaneous response of the turbochargers and low exhaust emissions thanks to optimal airflow to the near-engine catalysts. The eight-cylinder delivers its power with muscular torque in all engine speed ranges, combined with maximum efficiency for low fuel consumption and emission figures.

Two twin scroll turbochargers are used for optimal response.

The housing is divided into two parallel flow channels. Combined with two separate exhaust ducts in the exhaust manifold, this makes it possible to control the exhaust gases on the turbine wheel separately. The exhaust gas from the first and fourth cylinders of the cylinder bank is fed into one duct, that from the second and third cylinders to the other duct.

The aim is to prevent the individual cylinders from having mutually adverse effects on the gas cycle. This reduces the exhaust gas back pressure and improves gas exchange. The results are increased output, more torque at low revs and very fast response times.

Mercedes-AMG ONE „F1 Technology for the Road“.

Affalterbach. Mercedes-AMG ONE (combined weighted fuel consumption: 8.7 l/100 km; combined weighted CO2 emissions: 198 g/km; combined weighted electrical consumption: 32 kWh/100 km)[1].

Exceptional E PERFORMANCE hybrid drive with 1.6-litre V6 engine and four electric motors.

The E PERFORMANCE hybrid drive of the Mercedes-AMG ONE comes directly from Formula 1 and has been realised in close cooperation with the experts at Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth.

It consists of a highly integrated and intelligently networked unit comprising one hybrid, turbocharged combustion engine with a total of four electric motors. One has been integrated into the turbocharger, another has been installed directly on the combustion engine with a link to the crankcase and the two remaining motors drive the front wheels.

The high-revving power unit is boosted by a high-tech turbocharger. The exhaust gas turbine and compressor turbine are positioned at a distance from each other and connected by a shaft. This allows a lower installation position for the turbocharger.

On the shaft is an approx. 90 kW electric motor. Electronically controlled, this drives the turbocharger shaft directly, accelerating the compressor wheel up to 100,000 rpm before the exhaust gas flow takes over. The Formula 1 designation for this unit is MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit Heat).

Pagani Huayra BC Tempesta „The Ultimate Masterpiece with my DNA“.

The Pagani Huayra BC is the most technologically advanced Huayra Coupé yet, introducing innovative technical solutions which will be applied in the Pagani cars of the future. This not just a „restyling“ of the Huayra, but a product that includes innovative changes in every part of the vehicle. It’s a car that has a completely different personality to that of the Huayra Coupé.

Conceived primarily as road going car that will give the maximum exhilaration and performance during track days and special events, the Pagani Huayra BC has been inspired by its „track focused“ predecessors: the Pagani Zonda R and the Zonda Cinque.

The name „BC“ represents the initials of Benny Caiola, a person who has greatly inspired Horacio Pagani over the years. Benny was so impressed by the passion and technology of the cars Horacio was designing from the very beginning, he made history as the first customer to buy a Pagani Automobile.

The Pagani Huayra BC powered by the masterpiece of an engine the Mercedes-AMG M158 V12 biturbo engine 6.0L 800HP and 1100Nm of Torque.

AMG G63 „Nuthin but a G thang“.

Mercedes-AMG G63 (combined energy consumption: 15.7–14.7 l/100 km | combined CO₂ emissions: 358–335 g/km | CO₂ class: G)[1] underpins its unique position among performance off-road vehicles with its powerful drive system, new AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension and unique design elements. It also offers an even greater spread between dynamic on-road performance and excellent off-road expertise.

The G-Class is an automotive icon and the Mercedes-AMG G63 has been the most popular model for many years. This is both an obligation and an incentive for us. Our aim was therefore to make the enhanced performance even more tangible both on and off-road.

The Mercedes-AMG G63 is powered by the tried-and-tested AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine. It delivers 430kW (585hp) and provides a maximum torque of 850Nm. A new feature is the combination with 48-volt technology and an integrated starter-generator (ISG).

This electrification provides an additional 15 kW (20hp) of boost and 200Nm of torque for a short time. From a standstill, the all-new Mercedes-AMG G63 takes just 4.4 seconds to accelerate to 100km/h. This dynamic propulsion continues to a top speed of 220km/h.

The optionally available AMG Performance Package enables a top speed of 240km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds.
