The V8 engine is the further development of the Mercedes-AMG M133 engine, two blocks sharing a single crankshaft.[1] However, the V8s are twin-turbocharged, with the BorgWarner turbochargers positioned between the two cylinder heads in a "hot-V" configuration. The injectors are Bosch's new piezo-electric direct fuel injectors, and they deliver five squirts of fuel per combustion cycle.[2]

Within the family, the M178 and M177 variations are used in Mercedes-AMG vehicles and assembled in the AMG base at Affalterbach, while the M176 is used in mainstream Mercedes-Benz models and assembled in Mercedes's Untertürkheim plant outside Stuttgart,[3] starting with the 2015 G500 and G500 4X42.[4]

M176

The M176 is the version used in mainstream Mercedes-Benz models, debuting in 2015 for the Mercedes G500 and G500 4x42.[4] In 2019, M176 is being fitted with a 48V electrical system which has been used already in the Mercedes-Benz M256 engine. The 48V system produces additional 16 kW (22 PS) and 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) of torque.[5] Only 580 models receive 48V M176 currently.

Applications
  • Mercedes-Benz G 500 (G 550) and G 500 4×4²
  • Mercedes-Benz GLE 580
  • Mercedes-Benz GLS 580
  • Mercedes-Benz S 560
  • Mercedes-Maybach S 560
  • Mercedes-Benz SL 500 (2020–)

M177

The M177 was the first variation[6] released in the Mercedes-AMG C63. In contrast to the M178, this version of the engine uses wet-sump lubrication. In the C63 and GLC63 applications, the turbos are single-scrolled, whereas in E63 and S63 are twin-scrolled and different exhaust manifold. The twin-scroll application also features cylinder deactivation.[7] This engine is also used in the Aston Martin DB11 and the 2018 Aston Martin Vantage, as part of the agreement between Aston Martin and Daimler AG that began in 2013.[8][9][10][11] In late 2019, the 48V system used in the M176 was added to the newly released models.[12]

M178

The M178 was the second variation in the family to be released. Initially released in the Mercedes-AMG GT and GT S, it had 345 and 375 kW (469 and 510 PS; 463 and 503 hp), respectively. Later versions have been added for the GT C and GT R models and higher output.[2]
