Yes.. true. The in-line engines are making a comeback. I wonder why they went out of fashion in the first place, being a simpler design - Probably the overall length of the engine.
"Probably the overall length of the engine" >>Yes, exactly this. And the fact that they were NOT suitable for FWD applications (transverse mounting). So manufacturers kept developing more compact V6 platforms to be used for different models. IF you`ve changed spark plugs in a FWD V6, you`d know what a pain in the arse that is. Longitudinal straight 6`s are so much easier to work on/service.


Oh .. Thanks a lot for the explanation. I do have a V6 but no spark plugs.![]()

Ahaa.!! Tubo lag naththe electric motor eka nisa.. The motor has the same amount of torque as a little 4 cylinder engineAnik eka CLS53AMG eke ena M256 engine version eke electric supercharger ekak enwa.. :O
Personally mama SUV walata kamathi naa.. High seat position, drive feel eka mata dirawanne naa.. Mama una naam panna gaman CLS53 eka ganne..![]()
Yes, so did Honda`s IMA. Similar tech bust mostly used for 'Hybrid' versions. Merc` 48v is system is standard for every application where the M256 engine is used. Plus all the benefits of a straight 6(simplicity, high torque, smoothness, power delivery,etc...)
Mage first SUV eka, balamu kohomada kiyala. Mama CLS eka gandai giye, test drive ekath giya habai eke interior eka mage E class eka wagemai, GLE eka 2019 wala update une.
You are very knowledgeable about motor vehicles, are you in the Auto industry?

No machan, didn't do Engineering (i.e. Mechanical Eng. is what I like most) due to job prospects back then. Just before Year 2000, when I was looking in to what to do, IT was the bomb!
Always been a car nut, auto industry as a whole is kind of like my hobby
