Yeah, I never loved that AMG 4.0 V8, probably because AMG made better engines before it such as the supercharged 5.4 and the 6.2.

And the 1990s examples, 7.0-7.3 V12 and 6.0 V8, which will have been direct competitors to what Aston were offering at the time.

This doesn't even sound like a V8 to my ears, lacks crispness and sounds so muffled..................

Clearly Mercedes-Benz learned the hard way that AMG buyers were buying them for the noise and not just the performance. Same applied to electric performance cars.
