AMG 6.3 litre V8 front-mounted mid-engine vehicle

You won’t find another engine with this performance data: The advanced AMG 6.3 litre V8 engine makes the SLS AMG one of the most powerful sports cars in its segment.

The V8 high-speed engine with a 6208 cc capacity is a completely modified version of the AMG 6.3 litre V8 basic engine. The 8-cylinder engine responds to the slightest touch of the accelerator with superb agility across the entire engine speed range and displays the typical features of a high-performance racing engine.

Key information at a glance:

  • Command performance: 420 kW at 6800 rpm
  • Outstanding power delivery: Maximum torque rating 650 Nm at 4750 rpm
  • Unparalleled performance: The world’s most powerful series-production 8-cylinder aspirated engine.
  • Boost your power with more air: Performance has been enhanced by completely redeveloping the intake system, redesigning the valve assembly and camshafts.

  • Unrivalled performance: When it comes to power/weight ratio, the AMG 6.3 Litre V8 engine occupies a leading position compared with series-production sports cars built by competitor manufacturers.
  • Racing car performance: The Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and achieves a top speed of 317 km/h.
  • Lower centre of gravity: Lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity allows outstanding lateral acceleration when cornering and generates excitingly dynamic handling.
