Here's a breakdown:
* Supercharger: A mechanical device that forces more air into the engine's cylinders, increasing power output.
* Kompressor: The German word for "compressor," used by Mercedes-Benz to denote their supercharged engines.
Mercedes-Benz has used Kompressor engines on a variety of models, including:
* C-Class: C230 Kompressor, C280 Kompressor
* E-Class: E200 Kompressor, E230 Kompressor, E280 Kompressor
* SLK-Class: SLK230 Kompressor, SLK320 Kompressor
* Other models: A-Class, B-Class, and more.
Note: Mercedes-Benz has transitioned from "Kompressor" branding to using "AMG" or "4MATIC" for their performance models. While Kompressor engines are no longer produced, they're still found in older Mercedes-Benz models.
