Mercedes-Benz M113 engine
The Mercedes-Benz M113 (and similar M155) engine is a gasoline-fueled, spark-ignition internal-combustion V8 automobile engine family used in the 2000s. It is based on the similar M112 V6 introduced in 1998, then later phased out in 2007 for the M156 AMG engine and the M273 engine.

The standard Mercedes-Benz M113s were built in Untertürkheim, Germany, while the AMG versions were assembled at AMG's Affalterbach, Germany plant. M113s have aluminium engine blocks and aluminium SOHC cylinder heads with two spark plugs per cylinder. The cylinders are lined with silicon/aluminium, and the heads have 3 valves per cylinder (two intake, one exhaust). Other features include Sequential fuel injection, fracture-split forged steel connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a magnesium intake manifold.

M113 5.4 Kompressor
The M113 5.4 Kompressor is a supercharged and twin-intercooled version of the 5.4 L (5,439 cc) M113. It is commonly referred to as "M113K" - where 'K' stands for Kompressor (supercharger). Power output varies depending on year and model, from 469 bhp (476 PS; 350 kW) for the E 55 AMG at 6,100 rpm to 574 bhp (582 PS; 428 kW) in the 2004-2006 CLK DTM AMG, with 700 to 800 N⋅m (516 to 590 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2,750–4,000 rpm.
Many Mercedes-AMG enthusiasts consider the M113K was the last of the great Kompressor engines used by Mercedes-AMG excluding the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Mercedes-AMG replaced this model with their new 6.2 L naturally aspirated V8, making the transition from 55 AMG to the 63 AMG. Although the new 6.2 L M156 AMG motor produced greater peak HP, many enthusiasts were disappointed by the lack of torque present in the new N/A design.
Applications:
M155 SLR
The M155 SLR is a version of the supercharged 5.4 L (5,439 cc) M113 specifically for the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Power output is 617 bhp (626 PS; 460 kW) at 6,500 rpm with 780 N⋅m (575 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3,250 rpm. An uprated version with 641 bhp (650 PS; 478 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 820 N⋅m (605 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm is featured in the 722 edition.
