M06 engine

The M06 has a supercharged, single overhead camshaft, 7-litre straight-6 engine [12] [13] that produces 200–300 metric horsepower (150–220  kW ). Depending on state of tune, there is over 500lbs of torque, [13] which made the SSK the fastest car of its day. [14] A clutch operates the supercharger that is engaged by fully depressing the throttle pedal with an extra push, whereas letting off the throttle pedal disengages it. [12]

Power-to-weight ratio is a calculation commonly applied to engines and mobile power sources to enable the comparison of one unit or design to another. Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power source. It is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine's power output being divided by the weight of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle's size. Power-to-weight is often quoted by manufacturers at the peak value, but the actual value may vary in use and variations will affect performance.

Mercedes-Benz SSK Motor vehicle

The Mercedes-Benz SSK (W06) is a roadster built by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz between 1928 and 1932. The name is an abbreviation of Super Sport Kurz, German for "Super Sport Short", as it was a short wheelbase development of the Mercedes-Benz Modell S.
