The Power Behind the Mercedes-Benz AMG M177 Engine

This video describes the cylinder deactivation feature in the Mercedes-Benz M177 engine found in high-performance models such as the AMG C63 and E63. The engine has been optimized to deliver impressive performance, with a peak power output of 612 horsepower and torque of up to 850 Newton meters. Despite this high performance, the engine still offers efficient fuel consumption thanks to the cylinder deactivation feature, which cuts off cylinders 2 and 3 on the right bank and cylinders 5 and 8 on the left bank. The video explains the actuators responsible for cylinder cutoff, showing how they work by shifting sliding pieces on the camshafts. The video also mentions that the cylinder cutoff feature is only activated at engine speeds between 1,000 and 3,250 RPM, and requires the driver to be in the appropriate driving program. Overall, the video highlights the impressive engineering that has gone into the Mercedes AMG M177 engine.
