This leads to advantages such as lower weight and reduced engine friction. This results in low tensioning forces and low chain dynamics, ensuring consistent timing and outstanding acoustic properties, with friction reduced even further. In the V6 motor, the multiple injections even in tiny quantities made possible with piezo-electric injection technology were used by Mercedes-Benz engineers to control a wider, usable combustion process with efficient lean-burn operation. New piezo-electric injectors allow up to five injections per intake stroke for the best possible mixture formation. Multi-spark ignition and third-generation spray-guided direct fuel injection system with piezo-electric injectors that offer more fuel savings through a homogenous combustion process with a considerably extended characteristic map and fuel-efficient lean-burn technology. Its fuel consumption is estimated at 20 city/29 hwy mpg thanks to its 3rd-generation direct injection, piezo injectors and multi-spark ignition. A smaller engine also moves the operating range of the combustion process towards more favorable conditions with consequent fuel consumption improvements.
The active headlamp includes intuitive headlamp range control which automatically adjusts the angle of the light beam to changes in the car's attitude - for example pitching movements when braking and accelerating - or to accommodate changes in vehicle loading. These now have a larger adjustment range of 40 degrees with reference to the crankshaft. The V-angle of the new V6 engine is only 60 degrees. The four-cylinder engine for the new SLK250 follows the downsizing principle with the reduced cubic capacity compensated by homogeneous direct injection and turbocharging. The direct injection system of the four-cylinder engine has an injection pressure of up to 2,031 psi. The system pressure is up to 2,901 psi and is variably optimized according to the engine's performance. Engineers were also able to improve the functionality, achieving a 35 percent greater adjustment speed and adjustability at an oil pressure as low as 5.8 psi. These include an optimized water pump with 2nd-generation thermal management, a demand-controlled oil pump, a volume-controlled high-pressure fuel pump and an intelligent generator management system. Fuel consumption can be reduced by roughly two percent this way. Known as BlueDIRECT, this innovation establishes the V-engines from Mercedes-Benz as worldwide benchmarks and makes a further reduction in fuel consumption by 20 percent possible by engine modifications alone.
With a response time of just 0.1 milliseconds, the fuel injection can be very sensitively and precisely adjusted to the current load and engine speed, with a beneficial effect on emissions, fuel consumption and combustion noise. The new transmission makes for generally much lower engine speeds in the interests of low fuel consumption and great economy. Power consumption by auxiliary units has been reduced. 3,498 cubic-centimeter displacement, using this power to accelerate in 5.4 (est.) seconds from 0 to 60 mph (top speed 155 mph). The motor had a power of 26 PS (19 kW) and was able to propel the small two-door sedan at a speed of 92 km/h. The problem: Seat belts found on optional bench seats available for the passenger compartment may not meet minimum code set by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Luxurious seats to snuggle into and a great ambience to create your mood is the motto of this travel agent and this is further enhanced by the courteous and impeccable services of the immaculately uniformed chauffeurs. All three chains can be individually adjusted via a chain tensioner. A primary chain drives two secondary chains - one per cylinder bank -via an intermediate gear.
This enables the balance shaft for primary vibrations to be omitted. The MSI system enables up to four sparks to be discharged in rapid succession within one millisecond, creating a plasma with a larger spatial expansion than conventional ignition. The third-generation direct injection system also features rapid multi-spark ignition (MSI). Despite the improved performance, this new component features significantly smaller dimensions and low weight. The central component of a piezo-electric injector is the piezo-stack, which directly controls the metering needle. Fuel savings of up to 4 percent are possible alone by the use of piezo-electric injection technology in combination with multi-spark ignition, depending on the driving cycle. We are a Sprinter and Metris dealer servicing commercial vehicle needs. The big news is that Mercedes will be building the next generation Sprinter in the United States. This year though, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series will be sold both in and outside of Europe.
