M278 engine to be replaced by M176/budget AMG

"The M278 being replaced was inevitable:Mercedes is taking their AMG M177/M178 architecture and putting it into cars throughout the lineup. M176: a budget AMG V8.

Bore and stroke is the same as the M177 and M178 at 83.0 x 92.0mm. Horsepower is 476 which is just ahead of the W205 AMG C63 at 469 horsepower and the C190 AMG GT at 456 horsepower"

They are doing this across the lineup? ie. the E, CLS, S, etc.?
