Mercedes-Benz M111 engine

Uncommon card · No. 168862

The M111 family is a straight-four automobile engine from Mercedes-Benz, produced from 1992 to 2003. Using the same cylinder block as the SOHC M102, it featured Dual-Overhead camshaft 4 valve per cylinder layout, pioneered by the Cosworth. In addition it brought variable valve timing and modern engine management fuel injection/ignition in place of the mechanical KE-Jetronic. Introduced in summer 1992 for the Mercedes-Benz W124, it would become the primary engine for the 1990s and into the early 2000s. Originally available in aspirated form, it would introduce Supercharger (German: Kompressor) performance feature in 1996. In addition to powering Mercedes-Benz passenger and commercial vehicles, it would be used in several Volkswagen and Ssangyoung models. As a member of the modular family of engines, similar refinements would take place in the six cylinder M104 petrol and 4-5-6 cylinder OM604-605-606 diesel engines with large interchangeability of parts and components.
