Is the M113 a V6 or V8 engine?
The Mercedes-Benz M113 (and similar M155) engine is a petrol-fueled, spark-ignition internal-combustion V8 automobile engine family used in the 2000s. It is based on the similar M112 V6 introduced in 1997, then later phased out in 2007 for the M156 AMG engine and the M273 engine. Crucially, the M113K is one of the most reliable V8 engines ever made, even in its supercharged form! The supercharged M113K engine also found its way into the S55 AMG, but it was the SL55 where things got really interesting.
