It doesn’t really sound that much like either RB or JZ.
But it’s a turbo straight six, so obviously there will be similarities.
He’s throwing it around like a madman! Gotta be proud of my country :D
In that day I was watching him drifting in Riga. It was something new in those days.
I have a OM605 in my W202 and only thing I can say is that this Diesels are beasts. Somthing really different compared to other Diesels and I love them.
I believe its an om617 as my w123 had a om617
6 cylinder diesels doesn’t sound as bad as 4 cyl, wich sound like tractors. Still, mercedes have much better gasoline engines than that, i see no point on using a diesel.
And probabily now the diesel lovers will try to kill me : D
When you have an old diesel mercedes but drift is life :D
Every engine sounds slightly different, but the main parameters are RPM, cylinder count and aspiration (T/SC/NA). It’s the reason why all 6 cylinder cars sound fairly similar (open a vid of a BMW inline 6 and a GM/Vauxhall V6 for comparison). It’s also why people know what a v8 ‘sounds like’, even though there’s a huge range of different ones out there! Other stuff like firing order and fuel type also factor in, but generally it’s the number of explosions per second that gives the system accoustics to amplify or filter as nessecary.

I own a S123 250T Petrol and manual gearbox. I Love It!
