The Mercedes-Benz M276〔(Mercedes' New V Engine Family )〕 engine is a direct injected, V6 gasoline automotive piston engine. The M276 engine is related to the Chrysler Pentastar V6 engine, with which it shares its basic architecture, as it was developed while Chrysler was still owned by Daimler AG. This can be seen in its 60 degree vee-angle, as opposed to the 90 degree angle of its M272 predecessor. The 60 degree vee-angle eliminates the need for a balance shaft, improving refinement while reducing mechanical complexity.〔〔()〕 The M276 engine features an aluminum engine block and dual overhead camshafts with independent variable valve timing on intake and exhaust valves and a new timing chain arrangement. The M276 also includes direct injection with piezo-electrically controlled injectors for more precise fuel delivery, multi-spark ignition that allows for multiple ignition events during the combustion stroke, and modified accessories (such as the fuel pump, water pump, oil pump, and alternator) that reduce parasitic loads. These features are also shared with Mercedes' M278 V8 engine, announced at the same time.〔 Mercedes-Benz claim that the new engine, in conjunction with vehicle modifications such as a stop-start system, can produce up to a 24% improvement in fuel economy while increasing power and torque over the M272.〔(Mercedes-Benz New V6 and V8 Engines are More Powerful and More Efficient )〕 The M276 is not available in Australian market due to high sulphur content in the fuel. BMW had similar decision with their N53 engine for the same reason. 〔http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/bad-petrol-denies-us-good-engines-19814#.Vbcd6k0w9aR〕 ==Specifications== There has been one variant of the M276 engine announced so far. This version has a displacement of 3.5 liters (3499 cc) with a bore of 92.9 mm and stroke of 86 mm. Output is 302 hp (225 kW) at 6500 rpm with 273 ft·lbf (370 N·m) of torque at 3500-5250 rpm.〔〔(Official: 2011 New V6 and V8 engine family From Mercedes Benz | Autoholiks )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mercedes-Benz M276 engine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
