Internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle, having an exhaust system through which exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine can flow and which has: - a first turbine wheel which can be driven by the exhaust gas, which flows through the exhaust system, of the internal combustion engine; - a second turbine wheel which can be driven by the exhaust gas and which is arranged downstream of the first turbine wheel in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system, - a plurality of exhaust gas aftertreatment elements through which the exhaust gas can flow and which are designed for the aftertreatment of the exhaust gas and of which at least one exhaust gas aftertreatment element is in the form of an SCR catalytic converter which, in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system, is the first SCR catalytic converter, through which the exhaust gas can flow, of the exhaust system, wherein the first SCR catalytic converter is arranged upstream of the second turbine wheel and downstream of the first turbine wheel in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system, and - at least one bypass line, which is fluidically connected to the exhaust system at a branch point arranged upstream of the first turbine wheel and at an introduction point arranged downstream of the first SCR catalytic converter, by means of which at least some of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system can be branched off from the exhaust system at the branch point, to be guided, bypassing the first SCR catalytic converter, to the introduction point and can be introduced into the exhaust system at the introduction point; characterized by a second bypass line which is fluidically connected to the exhaust system at a second branch point arranged upstream of the first turbine wheel and downstream of the branch point and at a second introduction point arranged upstream of the first SCR catalytic converter and downstream of the first turbine wheel, by means of which at least some of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system can be branched off from the exhaust system at the second branch point, to be guided, bypassing the first turbine wheel, to the second introduction point and can be introduced into the exhaust system at the second introduction point. - a first turbine wheel which can be driven by the exhaust gas, which flows through the exhaust system, of the internal combustion engine; - a second turbine wheel which can be driven by the exhaust gas and which is arranged downstream of the first turbine wheel in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system, - a plurality of exhaust gas aftertreatment elements through which the exhaust gas can flow and which are designed for the aftertreatment of the exhaust gas and of which at least one exhaust gas aftertreatment element is in the form of an SCR catalytic converter which, in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system, is the first SCR catalytic converter, through which the exhaust gas can flow, of the exhaust system, wherein the first SCR catalytic converter is arranged upstream of the second turbine wheel and downstream of the first turbine wheel in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system, and - at least one bypass line, which is fluidically connected to the exhaust system at a branch point arranged upstream of the first turbine wheel and at an introduction point arranged downstream of the first SCR catalytic converter, by means of which at least some of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust system can be branched off from the exhaust system at the branch point, to be guided, bypassing the first SCR catalytic converter, to the introduction point and can be introduced into the exhaust system at the introduction point;
