Rumor that Mercedes-Benz intends to develop a straight six engine

According to foreign media reports, Mercedes-Benz is studying the adoption of a series of new engines. Among them, the most unexpected is that the straight six engine is also under consideration. It is said that this news was acknowledged by a Mercedes-Benz engineer. The engineer also said that Mercedes-Benz currently plans to introduce several V8 supercharged engines with lower displacement and a family of four cylinders that will continue to grow.

If there is such a thing, Mercedes will be equipped with a newly developed straight six engine in a slightly larger vehicle model in the future, and buyers can choose a single turbo or twin turbocharged version according to their own needs.

This report does not explicitly mention when we will see these legendary new engines on Mercedes-Benz's mass production cars. At the same time, we also have information on the displacement, horsepower and fuel consumption of these new engines. Nothing to know. So even if this rumor is not groundless, at best, it is only at the initial stage of discussion. It is still quite a long time before it is put into practice.
