One of the best known characteristics of AMG engines, apart from the mountains of torque they usually develop compared to their rivals, is the hair-raising exhaust sounds that you usually feel instead of hear.
YouTube user 93Ichbinich managed to make a video compilation of almost every exhaust type in the current AMG lineup and the result is almost like a metallic symphony, but not of the rock music kind.
There is everything, from the WRC-like four-cylinder sound of the A 45 AMG or the CLA 45 AMG, to the twelve-cylinder acoustics of the SL 65 AMG, via the eight-cylinder roar of the 63 AMG models.
Our personal favorite-sounding AMG engine is by far the M156/M159 6.2-liter, normally-aspirated V8, but it's probably followed closely by the twin-turbocharged M275 V12 that sits in the 65 AMG models.
This is not to say that we don't like the M157 or even the tiny M133, but the turbochargers somewhat take away from the aural pleasure we get from the normally-aspirated V8. Bellow you will get to hear no less than ten different AMG models, which is your favorite?
Alex handled his first real steering wheel at the age of five (on a field) and started practicing "Scandinavian Flicks" at 14 (on non-public gravel roads). Following his time at the University of Journalism, he landed his first real job at the local franchise of Top Gear magazine a few years before Mircea (Panait). Not long after, Alex entered the New Media realm with the autoevolution.com project. Full profile
