Many enthusiasts bemoan the loss of naturally-aspirated behemoths like the 6.2 liter V8 which was once AMG go-to engine. But despite the thinking of traditionalists, Mercedes engineering has shown that power and fuel efficiency are not mutually exclusive. With the new-generation AMG twin turbo V8, Mercedes has proven that power and fuel efficiency can go hand in hand. Other German manufacturers have made a similar switch to forced induction like AMG has.

That is becoming more apparent with each new model introduction is the fact that Mercedes, through AMG, has been turning out exciting cars that were once thought to be the purview of their fiercest competitior, BMW. The new 5.5 biturbo V8 is certainly no slouch, and as the clip shows, it hasn’t lost it’s bark yet either.
