The M194 is a straight-six engine produced by Daimler-Benz in limited numbers for its 1952 W194 300SL racer.




Design


The M194 is based on the M186 engine from the then-new W186 300. It is a four-stroke engine with three Solex carburetors and two valves per cylinder. The engine is titled 50 degrees to the left in order to reduce the height of the hood, and uses a dry sump lubrication system instead of an oil pan and reservoir. It is also mounted behind the front axle for better weight distribution. Only 10 M194 engines were made for the W194 300SL racer; the first three cars had around 170 kW (228 hp), while the remaining seven had around 180 kW (241 hp).
