Mercedes-Benz M194 engine


The M194 is a straight-six engine produced by Daimler-Benz.

Design

The M194 is based on the M186 engine from the then-new W189 300. It is a four-stroke engine with three Solex carburetors and two valves per cylinder. The engine is titled 50 degrees to the left and uses a dry sump system instead of an oil pan and reservoir, in order to reduce the height of the hood. It is also mounted behind the front axle for better weight distribution. Only 10 M194 engines were made for the W194 300SL racer; the first three examples had around, while the remaining ten had around.
