What engine does the Big G use?
1 Answers
The Big G refers to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG models. The engine model for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the M176-980, which features reduced resistance, lower fuel consumption, and shorter intake length, among other characteristics. Reduced resistance: This engine applies a mixture of metal and carbon fiber to the cylinder surface as a cylinder liner. This coated liner has twice the hardness of a standard cast iron liner and an extremely smooth surface, reducing friction resistance by 50%. Lower fuel consumption: The M176 engine has the capability to deactivate some of its cylinders. In Comfort or ECO mode, the engine can shut down four cylinders and operate with the remaining four, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Shorter intake length: The M176 engine is equipped with two turbochargers, which are positioned within the V-angle of the engine. This setup not only reduces the engine's overall size but also shortens the intake length, minimizing turbo lag.
