Engine Specification

About the Mercedes M157 Engine

The Mercedes-AMG M157 is the 5.5-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that powered AMG’s most significant SUV and saloon models across a key period of the brand’s performance history — fitted to the ML 63, GLE 63, GL 63, G 63, E 63, S 63, and CLS 63 AMG in various states of tune. In the ML 63 AMG application, the 157.982 code identifies the specific calibration producing 386 kW (525 hp) and 700 Nm — a specification that gave the ML 63 a 0–100 km/h time of approximately 4.8 seconds, positioning it among the fastest SUVs of its generation.

The M157 was hand-assembled at Mercedes-AMG’s Affalterbach facility — each engine built by a single AMG technician whose signature plate is mounted to the finished unit. This build standard reflects AMG’s philosophy of precision and accountability in engine assembly, and contributes to the M157’s reputation for smoothness and refinement alongside its impressive performance outputs.

The M157’s twin-turbo layout — with both turbos positioned in the valley of the V8 — delivers fast spool-up and linear torque delivery from low RPM, giving the ML 63’s performance character a distinctive quality: muscular, immediate, and effortless across the entire operating range. This is an engine that was praised by road testers for feel and character as much as for raw performance numbers.
