M112

M112 is a designation used in multiple domains, most notably in automotive engineering where it refers to a family of Mercedes-Benz gasoline V6 engines. Introduced in the late 1990s, the M112 engines were designed as part of Mercedes' move toward modular, compact power units and were used in a range of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The family is characterized by features common to contemporary Mercedes V6s of the era, such as dual overhead camshafts, variable valve timing, and aluminum construction, with several displacements and power outputs across different models. Production and usage declined in the 2010s as newer engine families superseded M112 designs.

Outside of Mercedes-Benz, M112 appears in other unrelated contexts as a model or catalog designation. Because the same alphanumeric label can be reused by different manufacturers or institutions, M112 is not tied to a single universally recognized product. If you are looking for a specific M112, identifying the industry (for example, automotive, military, or electronics) or the manufacturer can help direct to the correct article or specification.
