It currently holds the world endurance record. Im pretty sure my CLS has this engine I can rest easy tonight bar the worry of the recent car jackings :bannana:
World record for Mercedes-Benz new V6 turbodiesel OM642 (in E320 CDI)
- 100,000 miles at an average speed of 224.823 km/h / 139.696 mph
- Record distance equal to four times around the world
- Endurance test for the Mercedes E 320 CDI, 30 days of relentless, round-the-clock punishment
- Proof of the performance of the diesel particulate filter
Three E320 CDI using the new OM642 3.0 liter V6 turbodiesel were driven 100,000 miles within 30 days at the 5 mile oval racetrack in Laredo, Texas and set several FIA world endurance records to demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of the new common rail direction injection turbodiesels. The engine oil was changed 10 times, every 15,000 kilometers.
