Mercedes-Benz M106 engine

Automotive Engines

The Mercedes-Benz M106 is a high-revving, four-stroke, 2.5 litre, naturally aspirated V6 prototype racing engine that Mercedes-Benz built for the DTM and later the ITC between 1994 and 1996. It replaced the four-cylinder engine used in the 190E and was a new V6 loosely based on the 4.2 litre V8 of the E 420 and S 420, with a 90 degree bank angle, twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. Extensive use of alloys held its weight to 110 kg. It first produced 400 to 440 horsepower and drove the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox at the back of the car. By 1996 it made over 500 horsepower and revved past 11,500 rpm. The listed application is the C-Class DTM car.
