The AMG 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine was developed entirely in Affalterbach. Experienced assemblers manufacture it there according to the "One Man, One Engine" principle in manufactory quality. In the process, Mercedes-AMG combines the craftsmanship of its highly qualified employees with the modern production methods of Industry 4.0 and a high degree of digitalization. The internally named M139l engine (l for longitudinal installation) is the world's first series-produced engine to be turbocharged with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger. The innovative system is a direct derivative of the technology that the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has been using successfully for many years in the premier class of motorsport. The new form of turbocharging guarantees particularly spontaneous response across the entire rev range. This results in an even more dynamic driving experience and at the same time increases efficiency. Compared with its sibling models, the C 43 4MATIC and SL 43, however, the turbocharger in the C 63 S is significantly larger. This enables a higher air throughput and thus more power. In addition, the integrated electric motor is powered by the 400-volt high-voltage system (48 volts in the 43 models).
