I just puchased a 2006 Mercedes Benz S350. I noticed that the horse power on the S350 is 241 and the horse power on the E350 is 268. Can my S350 horse power be increased to 268?

Probably by plugging it in. And Mercedes is notorious for publishing an under rated horse power rating.

 

The s350 has a 3.7L. The e350 has a different 3.5L. The engines are different designs.

 

if his S-Class is the new 221, then he might also got 272 engine. 220 got 112.

E350 got 272.964

 

Sleepwalker, How can someone tell the difference? Thanks in advance

 

the s350 has a 112 engine, there is a big air cleaner on the top that just says "MERCEDES BENZ" down the center, the e350 and the new 272 engine, it says "V6" on it and has the engine control unit sticking out the center, the 112 is single overhead cam with 3 valve cylinders, 2 spark plugs in every hold, the 272 is dual overhead cam and 4 valve cylinders with one plug, the 272 engine is a lot stronger but it hasent proven its self yet, the 112 is pretty much bullet proof, Iv seen them come in with 25000 miles on an oil change with a broken cam on one side, the pistons hitting the valves and the guy drove it in for some "noise",
