Just like my previous 05 E55 and now 16 E63S no problems and engine bulletproof. AMG ftw.

[@chanish9363]

I was surprised to hear " Naturally Aspirated Engine " in 2019. Then I checked the date and this is 2011 video. Uffff

[@chanish9363]

@David On First, I may be wrong. But first, you need to learn to use proper language. You can say it in a decent manner. This is a big problem with automobile fans, they argue on specifications and performance and other things, while in reality they won't be in a position to buy atleast a 10000$ car. And next, just check the date of upload, I don't think upload date can be edited. The video may not be shot in 2011 as it says naturally aspirated engine, I knew it's original video shoot' time period is not 2011, they might have shot it long back, but it has to be uploaded one day, and they uploaded it in 2011. But I just got a little excited when I heard the word " Naturally Aspirated engine " in a video that I opened in 2019, as I didn't check it's upload date first. That's it.

Ok just for those who don't know. This is not forced induction, this engine is NA. It powers the newest slk55, they didnt wanna drop a 6.2 liter in there and outsell the rest of their product line.And certainly werent putting the 5.5 biturbo in it. This is the successor to the 5.4l NA m113 V8 thats been in the clk55, c55 and older model slk55.

[@Mercedes-AMG]

@17joj - Thank you for your question. The 5.5-liter V8 engine is naturally aspirated.

[@danielmanevski472]

Tell us in which models can we find this engine...Huge fan of 55AMG

[@rotorcraft68]

Mercedes-Benz M152 used in the R172 SLK 55 AMG. And I love it!!!!

[@Trades46]

I think AMG is thinking of a 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 for its next C class AMG. There still a chance this particular engine to be used in the W205 C class, but with a higher state of tune to match or exceed the current C63

[@clist9406]

Hope the engineers deleted the stupid triple vacuum level intake runner and cam hall sensors

[@AMGFAN63]

this engine is just awesome

[@Project_88]

FANTASTIC ! have been thinking of cylinder cut off many times before

[@sindhengineering5197]

Out class engineering the beat

[@immobilienhameln]

Klasse Video. Prima gemacht.

[@freddymiekoutima1105]

La merveilleuse des moteurs

[@DieGummileger]

WAHNSINN, Variable Nockenwellen, Zylinderabschaltung und Klappenauspuff . . . DAS hat´s vorher ja noch nirgends gegeben ! :D

[@crispygaming6393]

Thing of beauty

[@viggoM35]

In a perfect world the spark plug ground electrode is facing the optimum direction. ;)

[@no-damn-alias]

such a shame they didn't put it in the E500

[@9b8]

This is the M152 incarnation of the M278 platform. I would lov to see this engine develop further to >500HP in NA form. That would be killer! I know Mercedes could do it; the engine has plenty of technology to make it happen. But likely, emissions regulations may squelch that dream.

[@microtechTeslaY]

Yes. I have one.

[@maersklandro]

The engine is a dry sump design (see at the begin when they run the engine upside down) so the oil pump's not in the sump.

[@vossi6177]

it isn`t !

[@tischlerbmw21]

This 5.5 is not replacing the 5.5 bi turbo, This model will be used in some of the smaller cars like a slk 55 AMG GL 55 CLK 55

[@jinkim4357]

add to w203 c55.

[@Erich2142]

they getting rid of the 5.5 biturbo already?

[@aydinvideo]

When are we going to see Pneumatic valves from an AMG?? That would be so awesome!!

[@clist9406]

The true meaning of AMG All Money Gone. Had a C55 AMG , E63 AMG , cant decide which one is next

[@kegomoditswemolemane3577]

Wow this is so awesome.

[@rosssmith9941]

Ya it's a called a dual mass flywheel

[@Trades46]

Anyone get the feeling the next C-Class AMG would utilize this engine instead of the 5.5 Biturbo due to space and cost constraints in AMG?

[@9056666]

@hazemvirus no they are not this engine is for the slk

[@horizonr639]

2:42🤯

[@666demonknight666]

8.4L/100KM? You've got to be kidding me! For a 5.5L V8 making over 500HP?

[@vossi6177]

the Engine develops `only` 420HP, my SKL 55 R152 drinks about 10-12L/100KM

[@DieGummileger]

Ja ich weiß, ich kenne die Vor/Nachteile von 2 und 4-Ventil Motoren und sonstigen Schnickschnack. Verbrennungsmotoren waren Hauptbestandteil meines Studiums. Bei niedrigen Drehzahlen haben 2-Ventiler jedenfalls die bessere Füllung gegenüber handelsüblichen 4-Ventilern . . . von Reibung IM Motor (LSx vs. EU-V8) mal ganz zu schweigen. So . . . du siehst also, so ganz gegen die Wand gelaufen bin ich auf dem Gebiet auch nicht.

[@tezskanza]

N/A ? But at 1:45 I see a turbo charger (right side of screen). ??

[@aldrinmisena8117]

Too bad to that engine some people cant afford parts for repairs and replace not a budget friendly. I'll prefer stay to 4cylinder 1.8 engine. Or maybe i think 4cylinder can kick a 5.5L?

[@andreaust1448]

kein Sternsinger, ein passionierter AMGler ;)....bei der Corvette gebe ich dir recht, die Motoren sind richtig geil, jedoch sind die im Vergleich zu den AMG Motoren im verbrauchsrelevanten Teillastbetrieb richtig schlecht (Wirkungsgrad), da die bspw nur 2 Ventile pro Zylinder und eine Nockenwelle haben und damit im Bereich Luftaufwand und Liefergrad deutlich schlechter sind ;) der Verbrauch dieser Autos kommt von den Überlandteilen, bei dene sie von ihrer Übersetzung profitieren!!

[@travism8597]

200 bar pressure ??!

[@tannaf501]

this is my new SLK55 AMG Engine ;) I Like It

[@uhmeizuhngralphf0549]

Nice looking engine nice sounding but not reliable I'll go for a Hemi instead or LS

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Nothing from FCA is worth it. Chrysler's fit & finish, recalls, and overall engineering have always been garbage ! High output engines in a depreciating metal coffin !

[@matieh7789]

Wow but i want mercedes to be the fastest car in the world❤️😉

[@murotjonsarsenbaev8051]

Vauu german tehnologiy wold N 1 NEMETSKI STANDART

[@daltonauto]

No that's definately a turbocharger this AMG engine is 5.5L TwinTurbo, and replaces the 6.3L (which is actually 6.2L) N/A...

[@bratschenk9475]

Is this related to M157?

[@Mercedes-AMG]

The M152 is a naturally aspirated variant of the M157 engine!😉

[@bratschenk9475]

@@Mercedes-AMG interesting! So its not the other way around?!

[@Mercedes-AMG]

Nope. 🙂

[@mrmatthewpaul]

my question is how do I get that into my w202 AMG?

[@BlagoP]

What do you have, a C43? No point in sticking in this engine, it's very rare (only came in one car, the R172 SLK55), and requires a lot of work. Just swap in the M113 5.4L from the W210 E55, it's a direct drop in.

[@mrmatthewpaul]

BlagoP thanks. I seen some drop in the E55 w211 supercharger motor. I can't imagine it be much harder. Plus I would like to keep it naturally aspirated.

[@Hot80s]

the joke is a amg buyer can afford the gas.

[@janneskrause712]

Very good cylinder walls 🙄

[@leha52rus]

Нихрена не понял,но чётко!!!

[@maersklandro]

Most likely the water pump or oil pump.

[@9b8]

@creephacker See the wiki: Mercedes-Benz M278 engine.

[@ThePhotogalleria]

This is better than bad porn

[@pullejo]

Not NA.

[@timi0072]

v8

[@RUNITSTRAIGHT]

Will it fit in my Jeep?

[@arniefromaustria4627]

Jeep is just baaahh

[@andreaust1448]

422 PS 540 Nm -> 8,4l im NEFZ, wo hast du das vorher gesehen?? der typische KZbin Kommentar, sorry aber solche Leute wie du nerven und haben höchstwahrscheinlich keine Freunde => du solltest nach einer Weisheit des besten Automobil Journalisten der Welt lieber BMW M Videos ansehen..

[@vossi6177]

real braucht mein R172, durchschnittlich 12L ,Autobahn bei ca.140KM/H so 10L, Stadt kann auch mal auf 15L hoch gehen. der Klang ist herrlich nie prollig, auch wenn die Auspuffklappe offen ist.

[@tamatomlinson]

0:37 haha… this killed amg

[@angus8223]

I prefer diesel

[@22trol22]

8.4/100 km ? no no no thx ... vw AHF best
