M156/M159 Engine Reflections
I was thinking why Merceds uses the M159 engine (same as the M156 with forged internals and dry sump) in the AMG GT GT3 and not the new M178, all the top performers, Audi BMW and Mercedes developed new V8 engines with twin turbocharging, and the turbos are placed inside the V,
these monsters of CV i think suffers on track, this means that the engine in that position is very hot, infact the BMW S63 Is notorius for the leaking problem and turbo failure, the same is for the Audi V8 (llok at the old S6).
If you look at the GT3 Championship AUDI uses the V10 naturally Aspirated, Mercedes-AMG the M159, Porsche the same engine 4.0, BMW uses the S63 aspirated, Ferrari the fantastic F154 which have the turbo outside the V (the only turbo V8)
I think these new engines on track aren't good. What you think?

n/a produces way less heat. extreme heat = wear. Turbo engines make a ton of heat. Bigger displacement engines if designed properly don't have to work as hard as a smaller engine that is boosted. Kind of like how 500hp 4 cylinders don't have a track record for reliability.
