Mercedes created a new revenue stream when it lent its AMG engines to cars that don’t have the fabled three-pointed star. You’ll find a V-12 in the Pagani Utopia, a V-8 in several Aston Martin models, and a four-cylinder mill in a Lotus Emira. But did you know that several supercars also borrow their plug-in hybrid tech from the German luxury brand? The difference, though, is that Mercedes or AMG didn't technically develop the technology.
