M158

The M158 is a 5980 cc version based on the M275 AMG. The engine uses smaller twin scroll type turbos (for reduced turbo-lag), a bespoke Bosch ECU, a modified intercooler configuration, and dry sump lubrication. It produces 730 PS at 5800 rpm and 1000 Nm of torque at 2250–4500 rpm. AMG builds this engine specifically for Pagani Automobili for use in the Huayra. Later, in the BC model, the M158 makes 764 PS and 1100 Nm. The Imola variant of the Huayra uses a version of the M158 producing 838 PS and 1100 Nm. The engine is mated to a new 7-speed electrohydraulic automated manual gearbox designed and built by XTrac.
