The Mercedes-AMG F1 M08 EQ Power+ was the 2017 version of the 1.6-litre hybrid turbocharged V6 Formula One power unit from Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, listed in the family's specification table between the PU106C of 2016 and the M09 EQ Power+ of 2018. It carried the EQ Power+ name that Mercedes introduced with the W08 EQ Power+ car, the tag Mercedes-AMG uses for its performance hybrids. Mercedes described the unit as comprehensively redesigned for the new aerodynamic regulations, with the main focus on the combustion process. Because the engine acts as a structural part of the car it was slightly heavier than its predecessor, and only four units were permitted per driver for the season. It retained the hybrid-era layout of a turbocharged V6 working with two motor-generators, and it belongs to the Mercedes V6 hybrid Formula One power unit family.
