In a conversation with Motor1.com, the representative of Mercedes-benz confirmed that the development of a new engine was in development, but did not disclose information about it. The car manufacturer intends to bring several models into the market in the foreseeable future, for which new ICEs with the number of cylinders from four to eight are already being created.
