Mercedes Benz
Top German Auto manufacturers Mercedes are looking to go a step further in delivering non stop technological innovations for their future car models this is so because the German auto makers set to introduce a new range of four and six cylinder engines to their collections in not too distant future.
This new engines to be introduced includes a four cylinder capable of making about 180hp followed by an inline six cylinder engine almost immediately, Mercedes had earlier dropped the idea of the inline six cylinder engines which used to be its hallmark back in the days for the popular v6 engines but it seem there seem to be a change in order as the the inline
six cylinder is set to debut once again with the new engine family, lets see what car and driver had to say about the new Mercedes engine family.
Mercedes inline Six
The new engine family marks the return of the inline-six to Benz showrooms; the layout was used in a whole range of vehicles for decades—including the iconic 300SL, as shown above—but disappeared from Daimler’s lineup in the late 1990s when a new generation of V-6 engines was launched. Mercedes-Benz will rejoin BMW, currently the only maker of gasoline-fueled inline-sixes after both Volvo and Land Rover dropped them from their lineups.
Mercedes-Benz also will bet strongly on “mild” hybrid systems with a starter-generator integrated into the transmission. They provide accelerative boost, and they make the engine stop-start function smoother and less obtrusive than using conventional starters. Far cheaper than high-voltage conventional hybrids, they offer many of the same advantages, although they cannot match the range and performance of modern plug-in hybrids.
This sums it all up the new engine family would not just come alone but would be meted with the much maligned hybrid system to add some variety and spice to the new generation Mercedes Benz engine family, so much to savour for all those Mercedes geeks out there , Are you a lover of anything German? Do you See Mercedes as the foremost Auto Manufacturing Company in the World Then this is just another brilliant innovation.
