Guess What AMG Model Sounds Like This

The Brits from the UK division of Mercedes-Benz recently launched a trivia quest on their official YouTube channel, which they simply titled “Guess The AMG Model”.

Obviously, you shouldn't need any other explanation about what happens in the following short video. It's only a few seconds long, which is basically more than what your average AMG aficionado needs in order to realize what type of engine is being revved.

We figure it's obviously a V8, so we're left with the legendary M156, normally-aspirated, 6.2-liter V8, it's M159 evolution version sported by the SLS AMG and the M157, twin-turbocharged, 5.5-liter V8.

If we were to guess – we might be terrible wrong but we'll soon find out – we would say it's the M157, since the M156/M159 sounds quite a bit more masculine and we think there's a bit of turbocharger whoosh in there.

Our take on the model that's depicted in the video? It's either the G 63 AMG or the E 63 AMG, but we're more inclined towards the AMG G-Wagen. What's your take?
