Mercedes-AMG has been synonymous with raucous-sounding high-performance machines. Doing what it does best, the motorsport division has recently been awarded the 2014 Dewar Trophy at the Royal Automobile Club awards.
The engine in the limelight is the Formula One World Championship-winning Mercedes-Benz PU106A Hybrid power unit. With 100 VIPs in attendance, the award was presented to Andy Cowell, Managing Director of Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP).
The decision to award this particular engine was made by experts on the Dewar Technical Committee. The HPP team was recognised for its development of the most advantageous powertrain within the new Formula One regulations.
Besides having its thermal efficiency raised from around 29 percent for the previous normally aspirated 2.4-litre V8 to more than 40 percent with the new 1.6 litre V6 turbo Hybrid unit, the successful design also helped secure the 2014 FIA Formula One Constructors' Championship for Mercedes AMG Petronas.
