In parallel with the road and racetrack trials in various test vehicles, the new AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine was subjected to rigorous tests on the ultra-modern dynamic test benches at AMG; these can accommodate engines with an output of more than 735 kW/1000 hp. http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/05images/amgv8_2-1.jpg (http://www.canadiandriver.com/cgi-bin/schlabo/sp.pl?/news/05images/amgv8_2.jpg&info=AMG 6.3-litre V8&from=http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/050714-1.htm)

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Stuttgart, Germany - Mercedes-Benz AMG division unveiled a new 6.3-litre V8 engine that is claimed to be the world's most powerful naturally aspirated eight-cylinder production engine. It combines high-revving performance with a large displacement. Developed entirely by AMG, it generates an output of 510 hp at 6800 rpm. Thanks to its large displacement, the V8 by AMG develops around 20 percent more torque than comparable naturally aspirated engines in this performance class.
Made completely from high-strength aluminum, this naturally aspirated V8 engine has features derived from motorsport. Together with a variable intake manifold featuring two integral throttle flaps, the vertical arrangement of the intake and exhaust ducts ensures perfect cylinder charging. Bucket tappets in the cylinder heads allow a stiff valve train and therefore high engine speeds. Variable camshaft adjustment, a particularly rigid closed-deck crankcase and cylinder walls with a new, revolutionary LDS coating are further attributes of this V8 engine. The new AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine will soon be available in a new high-performance AMG car.
