*I'll update the list when I know more Engine Weights.*

One guy emailed AMG about the weight of the Zonda engine.

The respond

"thank you very much for your inquiry.
We regret to inform you that due to internal policy reasons, we do not communicate such figures.

Kind regards,

Great topic JM.

That RST V8 is very ultra light engine! How is that possible?

 

[dOmInIX]

Thanks for the infos!

 

[LaArtist]

damn that E63 engine is light as hell..
ile try to come up with a weight figure for the Zonda engine..

PS
I doubt that Teresa is a GUY at AMG

 

[Zonda]

Intersting...

My guess would be somewhere close to 250kg.

Edit, I remember hearing it weighing 205kg but I'm not sure and I'm not sure if I believe it either.

 

[dOmInIX]

LOL, that Teresa answered me on my request for AMG DVD!

 

[bum-man]

The engine in the Pagani Zonda is ~300kg. I'm surprised the V12 bi-turbo isn't on that list, it's around 260-270kg.
If only Mercedes had the demand for performance enhanced V6's. We would see further development of the M156 into a V6 that weighs as much as a modest 4 cylinder with the power of a performance V8.
BTW the LS7 weighs less than 200kg, but not by much.

Cool thread. I wonder how much the AMG 65 engine weigh.

 

[PC Valkyrie]

From the AMG Private Lounge, the 5.4L V8 in the C55/SLK55/CLK55 weighs "around 368lbs". This translates into 167kg, which is pretty light. I'm sure this weight is its "dry weight", with no fluids inside.

 

[PC Valkyrie]

Cool thread. I wonder how much the AMG 65 engine weigh.

Also from the AMG Private Lounge: the 6.0L V12 Biturbo in the S65/CL65/SL65 "weighs 558lbs". This translates to 253kg.

That is impressive considering some engines with half as many cylinders weight more!

That AMG V8 is showing that it was developed by a Porsche guy with that low-weight figure.

The Ferrari and Corvette V8s are really light too.

BMW makes heavy engines

BMW makes heavy engines

So what? As long as they receive every possible award and are declared as one of the best engine makers in the world, their engines can weigh 600 mf kilos, i don't care...

 

[warot]

Really impressed with Benz's new engine. It is extremely light.
