Filed under: Mercedes-Benz , Rumormill When we think of AMG, the first thing that comes to mind is a herculean 6.3-liter V8 engine that delivers hellacious thrust. We don’t give rear-wheel drive much think time because with Mercedes-Benz and AMG, it’s a given. That will change for Mercedes in the next couple years with the introduction of a new family of small, premium front-wheel-drive vehicles.
