Under his personal direction, a team of engineers\ntook an in-depth look into the 1923 M7294 compressor engine and came up with\nsome ground-breaking upgrades. As a result, the mximum output was pushed up to\n126 hp (even to 150 hp in late 1924). This was made possible by relocating the\ncompressor – Roots blower – to the front of the engine. When power was\nrequired, the driver could now activate it by a forceful step on the gas pedal.\nIt would trigger mechanic action or movement to bring the output from a normal\n68 hp up to 126 hp.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 11.4pt; line-height: 15.6pt; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: border-box; border-style: initial; border-image: initial; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; border-color: rgba(90, 90, 90, 0.4) !important;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.6pt;\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003eThe Targa Florio and the Coppa Florio were two of the\ntoughest and most difficult road races in Europe. Running on the extremely narrow\nand winding mountain roads of the so-called Madonie Circuit near Palermo on\nSicily, one lap lasted 108 km long. Four laps were to drive for the Targa\nFlorio, totaling 432 km. For the Coppa Florio, another lap was added, extending\nthe race to a total of 540 km. In either race, entrants had to deal with a\ngrueling circuit full of the dangers known as “7000 curves”. Whoever won the\nTarga Florio was not necessarily going to win the Coppa Florio, because the\nodds to negotiate the last lap successfully were not always very good.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 11.4pt; line-height: 15.6pt; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: border-box; border-style: initial; border-image: initial; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; border-color: rgba(90, 90, 90, 0.4) !important;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.6pt;\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003eMercedes would dispatch three vehicles to this prestigious\nrace event, and preparations were made well in advance.
