M06 engine

The M06 has a supercharged, single overhead camshaft, 7-litre straight-6 engine[12][13] that produces 200–300 metric horsepower (150–220 kW). Depending on state of tune, there is over 500lbs of torque,[13] which made the SSK the fastest car of its day.[14] A clutch operates the supercharger that is engaged by fully depressing the throttle pedal with an extra push, whereas letting off the throttle pedal disengages it.[12]
