ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS

Diesel engine of the Mercedes-Benz S350d

L6 engine delivers an output of 210 kW ❑

(286 hp) power.

Variable valve lift (CAMTRONIC) on the exhaust side.

NANOSLIDE together with cylinder barrels as used by Mercedes-Benz in Formula 1.

Ideal lubrication, reduced friction and very high wear resistance thanks to extremely hard cylinder contact faces with minuscule pores for oil absorption. Two-stage turbochargers for impressively sporty acceleration. Water-cooled turbocharger housing in combination with air/water charge air cooler for better performance and even more agile response.

Petrol engine of the Mercedes-Benz S450

Refinement, driving pleasure and ❑

responsibility – embodied by the petrol engine with 270 kW (367 hp).

Crankcase and cylinder head of aluminium, incorporating zirconium alloys to dissipate the heat more efficiently for maximum engine output and stability even at the limits. Sophisticated acoustic cladding for quieter operation. Impressive start-of with absolutely no turbo lag.

Plastic engine mounts reduce vibration.

Electric auxiliary compressor supplies even more charge pressure and therefore additional torque from just above idle speed. Cylinder barels lined in NANOSLIDE technology (iron/carbon) — ideal piston lubrication with reduced friction and wear thanks to extremely hard surfaces with minute pores for oil retention.
