Mercedes-AMG defines the future of Driving Performance - Performance Hybrid with 4.0-litre V8 Engine

The new performance models will launch with two independent, permanently excited synchronous machines and fully variable all-wheel drive with modular torque distribution.

The preliminary performance values of the test vehicles are already very promising: From the combination of front and rear engine, overall performance can be achieved on a par with the most powerful Mercedes-AMG Performance models with the current 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine.

This also applies to the sprint from standstill to 100 km/h, which is completed in well under 4.0 seconds, depending on the power and vehicle, and whose linear acceleration is a very special pleasure.

The electric motors rev up to a maximum of 18,000 rpm and enable a top speed of up to 250 km/h.
