Although AMG has been selling four-cylinder cars for years, most purists don't see models like the CLA45 and GLA45 as full-fat AMGs because of their puny 2.0-liter engines. Enthusiasts have a problem with the latest C63 and GLC63 since these are also four-bangers now, albeit supplemented by a powerful plug-in hybrid setup. Despite the initial reluctance, Mercedes believes we'll warm up to full-fat AMGs with downsized powertrains.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.
