1. Inline-Six Heritage – The Symbol of Refined Power The Mercedes-Benz 256 engine adopts a straight-six layout, an iconic configuration deeply rooted in the brand’s century-long engineering tradition. This inline arrangement delivers inherently balanced operation, producing smooth, linear power across the entire rev range. With its 3.0-liter displacement and twin-scroll turbocharging, the 256 engine combines the silky smoothness of a six-cylinder with modern turbocharged responsiveness, achieving a harmonious balance between dynamic acceleration and refined quietness — the true signature of Mercedes luxury driving.
2. From Classic Innovation to Modern Reinvention
The history of Mercedes-Benz six-cylinder engines dates back to the early 20th century, setting benchmarks for refinement and engineering sophistication. The 256 series carries this legacy forward with a modern twist — merging traditional craftsmanship with the latest innovations such as direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, and efficient turbocharging.
