The upcoming 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 will first be used in the new AMG GT sports car but will find its way into various models in the AMG lineup including the C63 AMG, E63 AMG and an AMG variant for the next-generation GLK. Initially, the new powerplant will serve as a replacement for the company’s naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 powerplant but will also eventually take the place of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8. At some point in the future, the engine will also likely make its way to the S63 AMG and ML63 AMG models.
The biggest reason why the German automaker is downsizing to a 4.0-liter powerplant is for tax purposes in some global markets, similar to what other companies such as Audi is doing for its twin-turbo V8. As for the GLK, the second-generation crossover was spotted testing late last year heavily camouflaged and is expected to make its debut later this year.
