Problems:

Overheating
The high-performance V-shaped engine may experience overheating issues, especially under extreme driving conditions or due to cooling system failures.
Turbocharger failure
The turbocharged (TC) nature of the engine can lead to turbocharger wear and failure, resulting in reduced power and efficiency.
Fuel injection problems
The direct fuel injection system (DIRECT FUEL INJECTION) could develop issues such as clogged injectors or fuel pump failures, leading to poor engine performance.
Timing chain wear
Prolonged use may cause the timing chain to stretch or wear, which can affect engine timing and lead to potential engine damage.
Oil consumption
The high-performance nature of the AMG GT's engine might result in higher oil consumption, requiring frequent oil top-ups and monitoring.
Misfires
Issues with the ignition system or fuel delivery can cause engine misfires, which can damage the engine if not addressed promptly.
Cooling system failures
The complex cooling system essential for a high-performance engine can fail, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.
Sensor failures
Various sensors (such as oxygen sensors, MAF sensors) critical for engine management may fail over time, causing erratic engine performance.

Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) not available
The vehicle lacks a dynamic brake support system, which can assist with emergency braking by amplifying braking force.
Engine complexity
The V-shaped, 8-cylinder configuration with direct fuel injection and turbocharging (AM-7, TC) can make the engine more complex and potentially more prone to issues related to fuel delivery, turbocharging, and overall maintenance.
High power output
With an engine brake horsepower (hp) of 469, high-performance engines like this are more susceptible to wear and tear, and components may require more frequent servicing and replacement.
Manufacturer-specific parts
Being manufactured by Daimler, parts and servicing could be more costly and less readily available compared to more common engines.
Advanced technology
The inclusion of direct fuel injection and other advanced technologies may lead to potential issues with fuel injectors, high-pressure fuel pumps, and related components.
Turbocharger wear
Turbocharged engines are prone to issues such as turbo lag, turbo failure, and increased engine temperatures, which can affect overall engine longevity.
Fuel efficiency concerns
High-performance engines like the M178, especially with direct fuel injection, can be less fuel-efficient and more prone to carbon buildup within the engine.
Maintenance frequency
High-performance and complex engines generally require more frequent maintenance intervals, including oil changes, spark plug replacements, and other routine checks.
