A community portal about Mercedes-Benz with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Mercedes-Benz is a German brand name of automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks created for Daimler-Benz AG and now owned by DaimlerChrysler AG. The Daimler-Benz company originated on June 28, 1926 when two companies, Benz & Cie. and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, the inventors of the automobile, merged.
Mercedes Benz model nomenclature
In 1994 (starting with the 1994 models), the traditional nomenclature of Mercedes-Benz vehicles changed. Since the early days of the company the name would be in the form of 500E where the engine displacement made up the first three numbers and the last letter(s) represented the type of engine and/or chassis; for example: "E" for fuel injection ("Einspritzung" in German), "D" for Diesel, "L" for long wheelbase etc.
In 1994, this was altered so that the prefix reflected the model ("class", German "Klasse", in Mercedes-Benz terminology) and a number the displacement. The suffix was retained in some cases, for example "L" for long wheelbase, and "CDI" for Diesel (CDI = Common rail Direct Injection). Thus, the 500E in the example above became the E500 ("E-Klasse", 5 liters displacement). It should also be noted that while in the past the model number generally accurately reflected the actual engine displacement, this is currently not always the case - for example the E200 CDI and E220 CDI actually both have a 2.2 liter displacement, and the C240 actually has a 2.6 litre engine. Also, there is a huge difference in power (and price) between some cars with the same engine number, such as C55 and SL55.

MANAGING EDITOR ROGER HART: It's always a pleasure to drive a car fitted with this engine. Man, it's a screamer. This is a German muscle car, without a doubt.

Despite its intimidating stance, this is one of the most civilized supercars around. Just don't forget that there's 563 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque available from the 6.2-liter V8 under that long hood, with all the stunning performance you'd expect from a $200,000 aluminum-spaceframe supercar.
