Plenty of power from another milk bottle!

Ja jong, at what revs? Single or twin turbo?

Same motor I had in my E250 CDI, 150kw and 500nm @1800 RPM.

Great motor, surprised lots of people with it's grunt.

I came from a BMW 545I V8, so a bit of a re-think on driving style to use the torque, not revs, but it was a great car to drive anywhere.

Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, but I like the V6 Mercs - and they are disappearing fast!

I see the new C will only have one V6 - the C400 (3 liter V6). Will get myself one of the older ones (C280, C300 and C350) once the new one is released

Seems Nissan gives you guys a go ! The DIG-T R’s base engine is 500 mm tall x 400 mm long x 200 mm wide (19.68 x 15.74 x 7.78 in), but it puts out power like a fire hose at 400 bhp (298 kW) and 380 Nm (280 ft-lb) of torque. Nissan points out though this is small enough to fit inside the luggage guides found at check in, at 40 kg (88 lb), the DIG-T R is too heavy to be considered as a carry-on. That works out to 10 bhp per kilo, which Nissan says is better than the new engines approved for the FIA Formula 1 World Championship this year.
