What's in the water in Finland?! These guys are my kind of 'crazy'!

Makes me almost wish I didnt sell the old 190 D. :-laf

With how slow it was, it would still run circles around Dad's 240D.

Smoke from the exhaust, smoke from the tires, that's awesome for a Mercedes.

Mercedes Benz is one of the few auto companies to offer a Diesel car in the US. This would be the E320cdi. It's a 3. 2 liter strait 6 common-rail direct injection diesel with a small turbo. In 2006 MB will drop this motor for a more powerful 3. 0 liter V6 Turbo Diesel for the E Class only. I would love to test drive one of those!!!!

Here's a pic of the all new MB 3. 0 liter V6 cdi engine. It makes 224Hp and 376lb-ft. at 1,600rpm's. It will be available in the 2006 E320 cdi.

In one of the top links, they have the "GALL" to run a non "AFE" air filter on their motor. And it is directly clamped on to the Turbo housing! Man, where is the "AFE" cult when you need them!!!!

 

[nickleinonen]

finally got around to watching the video... wow... they don't even sound like diesels there. . they are screaming... i like the black one myself...



sisu engineering at it's finest

Their was a guy with a new AMG at the track friday night and he was puttin a hurtin on a bunch of Mustangs and 300ZX's!The thing was in the 12. 50-12. 70 all night!

 

[EBottema]

that new v6 looks too overcomplicated. I sure love the old 5cyl turbo mechanical diesel in those 300td wagons. what a sweet car that is;

 

[TrqMonster]

That video just made my day.



Its almost as good as the liberty at IRP blowin smoke.

The V-6 looks a little like my brother in laws S 600 engine.

It's the V-12.

Looks like a real PITA to work on.

My mother and I test drove a new E320 diesel a few months ago and it is impressive! I would MUCH rather have the 3. 2 liter inline engine than that complicated V-6 for reasons of durability, simplicity and torque, just like my preference for the inline Cummins over the V-8 "competitors". The 3. 2 Mercedes engine we test drove was quiet, had no smoke or smell and had excellent power and acceleration. My mother is a diesel fan anyway, being a former owner of a 1987 300SDL (I-6-cylinder, 3 liter turbodiesel). When she went to get another car, no diesel was available. She took my suggestion of getting a rear wheel drive, inline 6 powered car and got a BMW 325I. With the new Mercedes diesel available, she is considering trading her 2000 BMW for the diesel Mercedes. I need to encourage her to do so while the correctly-arranged configuration is still available!

Tell her the in-line 6 in the current E320 cdi will be fazed out end of this year. Not sure why MB went from a strait 6 to a V6 diesel?? Ofcourse they claim the new motor will be more efficient and have more power and torque.
