, as previous AMG engines have always been based on original Mercedes engines. The engine was designed to be a naturally-aspirated racing unit, and will also be used in a number of high-performance "AMG"-badged Mercedes-Benz models.

The M156 displaces and shares very little with other Mercedes-Benz engine families like the M155. The bore spacing, block design, and other features are unique to the AMG engine.

Although it displaces 6.208 liters, the engine will be marketed as the "6.3" to comply with German car tax laws, which require them to be rounded up to the nearest 100 cc.

The engine uses a bore and stroke. Output is at 6800 rpm with of torque at 5200 rpm.

The engine, however, has been uprated to produce (and of torque) in the late 2007 S 63 and CL 63 models.

Mercedes has claimed it is the world's most powerful naturally-aspirated V8 engine.
