Sorry for the stupid question but what does "Kompressor" mean ??

I take it this is some form of turbo ?

I have a 240 w202 ....ive noticed some cars have kompressor on the back and some dont ......does this mean they are underpowered in some way ??

Thanks.

No.

According to Parkers:

A normal c230 has 150bhp, top speed of 130mph, 0-60 in 10.4 and gets an average mpg of 31.9

A c230 kompressor has 193bhp, top speed of 143mph, 0-60 in 8.3 seconds and gets an average mpg of 34

So with the addition of the kompressor unit (and some engine re-inforcement!) you get 43bhp more, knock 2 seconds off the 0-60, add 13mph onto the top speed and get 3 MORE miles to the gallon!

Plus the kompressor makes a nice whining noise :)

The c230k is the fastest, most powerful and most fuel efficient of all the petrol w202s, except for the AMG tuned models.
 
Did they make a C230 K estate ?
