Overall winner at the first attempt - following on from its habitual success in motorsport, the Mercedes-AMG performance and sports car brand has now pulled off a similar victory in the area of production: the AMG hand-built engine production facility at the company's headquarters in Affalterbach is 2019 "Factory of the Year". With this coveted title, bestowed by A.T. Kearney, the specialist journal "Produktion" and SV Veranstaltungen, a jury of experts rewarded the work of the engine Manufaktur (hand-finishing section) in Affalterbach. The new AMG four-cylinder high-peformance engine M139 is built on a new production line here. With an output of up to 310 kW (421 hp), the completely newly developed 2.0-litre engine is the world's most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder in series production. On board the A-Class, CLA and CLA Shooting Brake compact models, it enables performance and driving dynamics on a par with high-calibre sports cars.

The four-cylinder will provide in the compact models of Mercedes-AMG in two power levels for highly agile propulsion: with 310 kW (421 hp) as so-called S-model and with 285 kW (387 hp) in the basic variant The AMG performance models with V8 engine already proven and meets even better the individual customer requirements.In addition to the pure performance figures, the new engine impresses with its spontaneous response. For this purpose, the torque curve was elaborately tuned ("torque shaping"): The maximum value of 500 Newton meters (480 Newton meters in the basic version) is available in the range of 5,000-5,250 / min (4,750-5,000 / min in the basic version). With this design, the AMG engineers achieved a naturally aspirated engine-like power delivery that further enhances the emotional driving experience. The engine developers were able to realize a dynamically increasing torque curve in the lower engine speed range and thus improve drivability. The growing torque at higher speeds increases the revving of the engine. In addition, the high maximum speed (up to 7,200 rpm) emphasizes the sports engine character of the M 139.
The second generation of the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé is the new top model in the Mercedes-AMG range. It combines highly dynamic driving characteristics with increased suitability for everyday use. High-tech components such as the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation, standard rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics sharpen the active driving profile. The sporty coupé is also taking its output to the road for the first time with the fully variable all-wheel drive AMG Performance 4MATIC+. Combined with the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, this results in a driving experience of the highest level. The exclusive AMG sports car architecture with an elaborate composite aluminium body structure allows the car to be configured as a 2+2 seater. For a sports car in this class, this means a very generous interior for passengers and plenty of space for their luggage. As the fifth independent model series after SLS, the first generation of the two-door GT, GT 4-door Coupé and SL, the new Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé once again demonstrates the high technological expertise of the Affalterbach development team.The vehicle will be available as an AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé with 430 kW (585 PS) of output in October 2023 and as an AMG GT 55 4MATIC+ Coupé with 350 kW (476 PS) of output in July 2024.
