Design
The M194 is based on the M186 engine from the then-new W189 300.[1] It is a four-stroke engine with three Solex carburetors and two valves per cylinder.[2] The engine is titled 50 degrees to the left and uses a dry sump system instead of an oil pan and reservoir, in order to reduce the height of the hood.[3] It is also mounted behind the front axle for better weight distribution.[4] Only 10 M194 engines were made for the W194 300SL racer; the first three examples had around 170 kW (228 hp), while the remaining ten had around 180 kW (241 hp).[5]
