About Mercedes-Benz C280
The C-Class was introduced with an entire lineup of engines that featured multiple valves. The M111 family of four-cylinder gasoline engines made their debut in the Mercedes-Benz C 180 (1.8 L, 122 PS (90 kW; 120 hp)), C 200 (2.0 L, 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp), and C 220 (2.2 L, 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp), which was the only four-cylinder engine in the range that was offered for sale in the United States. The C 220 was succeeded by the C 230 in the year 1997. The C 230 featured an increased displacement of 2.3 liters but maintained the same output. However, its torque was increased to 220 Nm (162 lb-ft). The C 280 was the top-of-the-line model for this class. It had a straight-six engine with four valves per cylinder and the ability to produce 193 horsepower (142 kW; 190 hp).
The 2.0 liter and 2.2 liter displacements of the four-cylinder diesel models were both powered by the same OM601 engine that was found in the 190. Because of their high level of dependability and low overall fuel consumption, many of these diesel variants were purchased for use as taxis. Additionally, there was the more potent OM605 five-cylinder engine, which came in naturally aspirated (C 250 D) and turbocharged (C 250 TD) variants. One of the novelties in the lineup of engines that are available as of this year is the turbodiesel, which first appeared on the market in 1995. The most important was a supercharged version of the M111 straight four called the C 230 Kompressor. It used a supercharger of the Roots type to generate 193 PS (142 kW; 190 hp) at 5300 rpm; Mercedes-Benz repurposed the technology of the supercharger after 50 years.
