Mercedes-Benz M297 engine

The M297 is a V12 engine produced by Mercedes-Benz, from 1997 to 2016. Engine code was derived from the CLK GTR's C297 chassis code.

Design
The M297 is based on the M120 engine but has been tuned by AMG for use in high-performance sports cars. It was offered as a 6898 cc version with a bore and stroke of 89x92.4 mm, respectively, and was only available in the road-legal version of the CLK GTR. A 7291 cc unit was also available featuring a larger bore of 91.5 mm, and was used in Pagani Zonda models until 2016.
