However, I thought the 4 cyl AMG engine design came out of Merc's 4 cyl F1 engine that was then scrapped when they revised the new engine rules in favour of V6's.......???
Actually as far as i know---the AMG 4-cylinder is just a very heavily boosted version of the standard MB 4-cylinder which is 1.6L and 2.0L in the rest of their CLA lineup and B-Class cars. The amount of boost it has is very high though....higher than i've seen in other 4-cylinder turbos.
