M9456 engine

The six-cylinder in-line 6240 cc engine featured an overhead camshaft which at the time was an unusual feature, with “bevel linkage”. However, it was the switchable supercharger (”Kompressor”), adopted from the company's racing cars, that attracted most of the attention. With the device switched off maximum claimed output was of 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) at 3,100 rpm: with the supercharger operating, maximum output rose to 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp).

The top speed listed was 115 km/h (71 mph) or 120 km/h (75 mph) depending on which of the two offered final drive ratios was fitted.

From 1928 the Modell K received a still more powerful "Kompressor engine", although there was no change to the overall engine size. Stated power now increased to 110 PS (81 kW; 108 hp) or, with the compressor switched on, 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp). The official performance figures were unchanged.
