So did the 300SL in the 50s.
In fact, I believe the first mass produced gasoline engine with fuel
injection was the Daimler Benz DB601
Quote:
The DB 601A-1 was a development of the DB 600 with direct fuel
injection. Like all DB 601s, it had a 33.9 litre displacement.[1] The
first prototype with the direct fuel injection, designated as F4E,
was test run in 1935, and an order for 150 engines was placed in
February 1937.[1]
From wikipedia DB601
Of course, none of this is relevant to this discussion, because my
2.8 engine had the two carb set up. But, the 280SL did have the
mechanical fuel injection in 1971.
