The Mercedes-Benz M106 engine is a high-revving, prototype,
racing engine, designed, developed and produced by Mercedes-Benz for the DTM and later ITC, between 1994 and 1996.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
History
The new M106 six-cylinder replaced the
sequential gearbox that was fitted at the rear of the car to improve the weight balance. While Alfa Romeo's model featured four driven wheels, Mercedes-Benz was restricted to only a rear-wheel drive setup for their new DTM racer as none of the road-going C-Class models used four-wheel drive
. The 1996 iteration of the engine developed over 500 hp (370 kW), and revved over 11,500 rpm.
