The star dust effect is much more noticeable on a long horizontal strip.

Yes, and it looks wonderful. High end and pretty cutting edge. Very well done.

We’ve already told you about Mercedes’ plans to bring back straight-six engines, but following a future technology presentation by the brand we can add that all versions of the new gasoline six will be equipped with a beefy 48-volt motor-generator unit that will, in effect, make any car equipped with it a mild hybrid.

This new M256 engine will be launched in the facelifted S-class that will make its debut next year, although as the current entry-level U.S. S-class ships with a V-8 the six-cylinder variant is unlikely to come here. But Mercedes-Benz says that the new engine will quickly go on to replace almost all applications of the existing gasoline V-6. Although we don’t have any power figures for the internal combustion side of the powertrain, the company says that the starter-generator can deliver up to 18 horsepower of assistance and harvest up to 20 horsepower of regenerative braking. Being mounted directly to the crankshaft, it can also be used to start the engine in a fraction of a second, although the lack of any clutch to disengage it means that the system can’t provide electric-only operation and can only assist while the gasoline engine is turning at less than 2000 rpm. Despite the 48 volt battery having a paltry 0.9-kWh capacity, the carmaker tells us that the system delivers economy improvements of between 10 percent and 15 percent.

What it doesn’t have is an official moniker. “We’re still searching for a name for it,” Jurgen Schenk, the E-class drivetrain boss admitted, although he also said that cars fitted with it are unlikely to carry any kind of “hybrid” badging. We’re told the 48V system will effectively replace all non-plug-in hybrids among Mercedes models with a north-south engine orientation, save for the S-class hybrid.

The straight six is the second engine spun off from Mercedes’s new modular architecture, and is closely related to the OM654 four-cylinder diesel that the company recently introduced in Europe-market versions of the new E-class. A straight-six diesel will follow—bringing back memories of the immortal 300D models that Mercedes sold here in the Eighties—featuring the same motor-generator, although this is unlikely to make it to the States. There also will be four-cylinder versions fitted with a less complex belt-driven motor generator that can also add assistance. The M256 engine will get a particulate filter, being the first engine to get this diesel-cleaning technology, which will enable it to meet forthcoming ultra-tough emissions standards on both sides of the Atlantic.

The lady from the videos has interesting and informative channel, but I ROFL-ed when she said the name of Kallait-green had to be changed to Piedmont-green, since Kallait is somehow unpronounceable

Interesting new info on the new engines from jesmb.de. AMG will come at the start of 2017 with 571 PS and 612 PS. The new R6 diesel should come in the 4th quarter of 2017 with 313 PS as a 350d and with cca. 395 PS as a 450d. 300d will superseed the 250d with 231 PS. The benzin R6 will debut in 08/2017 in the facelifted S klasse. E klasse will get them in the beginning of 2018 with the introduction of the new CLS in two state of tunes - 367 PS and 435 PS (E 500). E 43 AMG should be replaced with E 55 AMG with cca. 490 PS. No news on the new benzin R4.

Very interesting engine changes etc. here is the full article but translated.

On June 20, 2016 "great" day for many E-Class buyers a. Then there is the E-Class sedan more engines:

- E 200 4MATIC with 184 hp (shipped from Sept 16)
- E 250 with 211 PS (shipped from Sept 16)
- E 300 with 245 hp and the E 300 4MATIC (shipped from Sept 16)
- E 400 4MATIC with 333 hp and the -yes you know how much non-displacement. In the first PR messages there were 3.0 liters homogeneous charge. The T-model 3.5 liter displacement are now specified => that speaks for the film loader (M276 THE 35 AL). It requires less fuel in the partial load range, however, is not available outside of Europe, since there the fuel quality (eg. USA) by a high sulfur content is not good enough.
The T model is indeed almost sold only in Europe. Therefore, one could here have extra applied the 3.5-liter V6 with stratified charge. But it would be unusual that the saloon and estate models have different engine variants than 400. The C-Class Estate has nothing but the 3.0-liter with homogeneous charge. You have to continue to wait here.
- AMG E 43 4matic with 401 PS (extradition Sept 16) and 3.0 liters of displacement.

- E 350e (211 + 82 hp) and 550 NM torque system (shipped from Sept 2016 including 3,000 plug-in hybrid premium.). Here's a slightly different drivetrain was originally planned (of the C 350e with 600 NM). However, it was decided at short notice to the 7G-Tronic Plus. It is offered in C 350e with NAK (wet clutch instead of converter). The increase vs. the transducer slightly the efficiency also can withstand the transmission is a system torque of 600 NM. Lt. Information from the IAA will debut plug-in hybrid transmission only with the 2nd generation of plug-in hybrid models with the S-class facelift in August 2017, the real 9G-Tronic. From January 2018, the E then receives an e-350e engine with 122 hp and presumably the new gear from the S-Class.

When the diesels there on 20.06.2016 the following new:
- E 200d with 150 hp (OM654) (shipped from Sept 16) and the
- E 220d 4matic with 194 hp (OM654) (delivery presumably from Sept 16)

Currently there are also delays in LED Multibeam Light. Company employees get the option deleted, so that customers do not have to wait quite as long.

In January 2017, the E 63 AMG 4Matic obtained with 571 hp and the E 63 S AMG 4MATIC with 612 PS the order approval. Delivery will begin in March 2017th

The new OM656 R6 diesel is expected in Q4. he is 350d as E 313 hp and afford as E 450d around 395 hp. They are also available with 4MATIC.

The E 250d is the future E 300 d hot and makes 231 hp. He then has two loader (as opposed to E 220d), and is also a member of OM654.

The new M256 R6 gasoline coming in August 2017 the S-Class. You are but in 2018 introduced along with the new CLS in the E-Class. It will probably be two performance levels with 367 and the E 500 (R6 petrol engine) with 435 hp. The E 43 is then later converted in 2018 from M276 to M256 and then is E 55 AMG with 490 hp.

The T-model has not done its showroom debut, but on October 15, 2016. The order release will take place on 15.07.2016 in September 2016th The roll-out of einzelen variants refer to the following, surfaced on the Internet, Chart. However, here also seem to be missing the E 350e and E 300th Furthermore, the E 350 4Matic d with the V6 diesel (OM642) is scheduled for June 2017th Actually, it was a 6-cylinder diesel 4matic provided only on the basis of the new OM656. Here you have to wait again

E43 to become E55 with almost 100hp more is intriguing. It takes it much closer to the E63 !

 

[BMW3GT]

According to some rumors, the OM656 with 395hp+ will have a quadturbo-setup similar to BMW's. Later on electric turbos will be used instead of four turbos.

 

[SKY]

So big power jump with the I6s.

E43 becomes E55.

 

[BMW3GT]

E43 becomes E55.

Yes. The M276 that is used currently, will be replaced by the M256. The M256 should also carry turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG). AFAIK only Porsche uses a smiliar setup for their 911 Turbo S.

 

[Merc1]

What are we looking at here? The R6 stands for the I6 and those 435 and 490 are hp figures for the E500 and E55? WOW, that is going to be something if true. I would be fine with a E55. What is the power figure for the base I6 model? Say an E350?

M

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

wow, those petrol inline-6...if what is said is true, color me impressed.

 

[SKY]

Yep, that is quite a serious performance. The new E400, E500 and E55 look much more interesting than today's E400 and E43. These engines will be perfect for the S-Class.

MB seems to be doing some serious work in the engine department.

 

[klier]

Meh, an E500 with 'only' 435 hp is really not impressive at all. It being an I6 is nice, but 435 hp for the 500 is not nice.

 

[DjordjeC63]

According to some rumors, the OM656 with 395hp+ will have a quadturbo-setup similar to BMW's. Later on electric turbos will be used instead of four turbos.

But, main question is WHEN?

 

[HUTSUTAo]

So big power jump with the I6s.

E43 becomes E55.

Expect a big price increase as well.

 

[DjordjeC63]

I hate fact that Mercedes rapidly changes model names. You get impression that they are "short-time thinkers".

 

[domleo999]

Wow , from 450 amg, to 43 now 55?!

I wish they make a decision and stick to it
