In 2003, Mercedes expanded its Formula Three program by supplying three teams in the inaugural year of the F3 Euroseries. Winkelhock achieved Mercedes' first F3 win at the Nürburgring in August 2002. The M271 made its competitive debut in the 2002 German Formula 3 Championship in two of Mücke Motorsport's three Dallara F302 chassis, driven by Markus Winkelhock and Marcel Lasse. Formula Three engine regulations demand a naturally-aspirated, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, production-based specification, with a capacity of not more than 2000cc. The H.W.A Mercedes-AMG M271 was based on a 1.8 litre 4-cylinder from the C-Klasse, bored out to the regulation 2.0 litre capacity. Its engines, which are built and serviced by H.W.A GmbH, have so far contributed to a total of four drivers' and four teams' championship titles in the Formula Three Euroseries and British Formula Three Championship.

In the five years since Mercedes-Benz began its involvement in Formula Three, it has developed into the formula's most dominant engine supplier. For those only interested in their M271 then scroll down a bit. You may be surprised to learn that a derivative of the M271 was used in Formula 3.įor those who are interested in how our engine is used in F3 read on. But Mercedes also used the engine in the CLK W209, W211 E Class and SLK. The new W204 C Class uses the engine as does the W203 C Class.

Mercedes made this engine in such away as it can be configured to provide different outputs and therefore has been used in many different guises and models.
