The world of cars is moving more and more towards electrification. Many car manufacturers already have; also given a date on which they will stop selling their endothermic models. A little on the other hand, Mercedes AMG goes against the trend, which although it has recently presented its first electric model, the AMG EQS, thinks that there is still room for the endothermic V8 engine which customers like it so much.
In particular, according to Philipp Schiemer , CEO of Mercedes AMG, we will see the V8 again for the next 10 years . An interesting statement contained within an interview with Road & amp; Track.
I think there will be; a future, yes. I think for the next ten years we will definitely see V8s. We have many customers who love their cars and I still think we will see those people buying cars with the V8 for a long time.
The manager of the German brand added that this engine is not; present only on some standard models but & egrave; also used on racing cars of the GT3 and GT4 series that run on the tracks in Europe, America, China and Australia. Although AMG will not develop; a next generation V8 engine due to Mercedes plans for electrification, this does not mean that this powerplant has reached the pinnacle of its potential. Indeed, the engineers are still finding ways to upgrade the existing powertrain.
Also, thanks to electrification, the V8 & egrave; become even more; powerful as demonstrated by the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE model equipped with a Plug-in powertrain. The combination of the V8 with a high-performance hybrid system, according to AMG's Chief Technical Officer Jochen Hermann , opens up many possibilities; for the future. True & egrave; that Mercedes has recently made it known that it does not intend to work on a next generation of Plug-in systems but & egrave; equally true that & egrave; can optimize the powertrains already;
However, given the road taken by Mercedes towards electrification, it is easy to think that the V8s, if they really last for another 10 years, will only be the prerogative of some premium AMG models .
