AMG CEO Michael Scheibe says V8s will return this year

Mercedes‑AMG’s CEO Michael Scheibe confirmed in an interview that new V8‑powered AMG models will arrive before the end of 2026. The statement came via a confirmed media interview and was reported by major outlets on May 9. Scheibe said the initial rollout will prioritize SUVs, with coupes and sedans to follow.

This marks a strategic shift for AMG toward reinstating high‑displacement engines to restore driving character and audible appeal.

The move matters because it directly affects future AMG product planning, potential performance variants of the GLE/GLS, customer demand for V8 models, and Mercedes‑AMG’s balance between electrification and combustion‑engine offerings.
