Due to efficiency concerns Mercedes will replace the M156 6.3 with a new 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine. Some have said that the large V8 “is the epitome of a German hot rod”.
The 6.3 started in 1966 when Mercedes engineers took the M100 engine from the Mercedes-Benz 600 limousine and installed it into the W109 S-Class. This resulted in incredible performance for the time and the car was officially launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1968.
Mercedes went on to install smaller V8’s into the W109. The 300SEL 4.5 was available in the USA, while the 280 SE 3.5 Coupé could also be ordered in Europe.
