Mercedes-Benz M156 engine
Encyclopedia : M : ME : MER : Mercedes-Benz M156 engine
The M156 is a V8 automobile engine designed autonomously by Mercedes-Benz subsidiary Aufrecht Melcher Grossaspach (AMG) for the first time. (Previous AMG engines have always been based on original Mercedes engines). The engine was designed to be a naturally-aspirated racing unit, and will also be used in a number of high-performance "AMG"-badged Mercedes-Benz models.
The M156 displaces 6.2 L (6208 cc) and shares very little with other Mercedes-Benz engine families like the M155. The bore spacing, block design, and other features are unique to the AMG engine.
Although it displaces just 6.2 liters, the engine will be marketed as the "6.3" to commemorate the famed M100 used in the 300SEL 6.3.
The engine uses a 102.2 mm (4 in) bore and 94.6 mm (3.7 in) stroke. Output is 375 kW (503 hp) at 6800 rpm with 630 N·m (465 ft·lbf) of torque at 5200 rpm.
