M1392.0L Petrol Engine for Sale

Used Mercedes M139 petrol engines for sale from our Centurion yard, fitting 7 Mercedes chassis. The M139 is AMG's hand-built 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder, signed by a single technician under the 'One Man, One Engine' philosophy. Producing up to 421 hp in the A45 S, it is the most powerful series-production 4-cylinder ever built. Fitted to compact AMG models from 2019 onwards, it shares its block with no other engine — a unique design with the turbocharger reversed and the exhaust manifold facing the firewall for shorter pipework.
