The Mercedes-Benz M06 engine is a supercharged, 6.8-liter to 7.1-liter, straight-6, internal combustion piston engine, designed, developed and produced by Mercedes-Benz; between 1928 and 1934.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

M06 engine[]

The M06 has a supercharged, single overhead camshaft, 7-litre straight-6 engine[12][13] that produces 200–300 metric horsepower (150–220 kW). Depending on state of tune, there is over 500lbs of torque,[13] which made the SSK the fastest car of its day.[14] A clutch operates the supercharger that is engaged by fully depressing the throttle pedal with an extra push, whereas letting off the throttle pedal disengages it.[12]
