500 E KLS 6.3

Did we have this one? Bore and stroke 102 x 95,5 mm = 6243 cm³.
What a strange combination. 102mm bore leaves thin cylinder walls, and the 95.5mm crank just adds cost vs the 94.8mm factory crank with minimal benefit.

Claimed vMax of 289kph / 180mph would require spinning to 6350-6400rpm with 2.65 gears and also taller tires... or, 2.47 gears @6000rpm.

:scratchchin:
 
One German forum member sent me several pages from a KLS brochure. Here are a few that mention M117, M119 and M120.
Quite interesting although some facts are weird.

The alleged M119 6.3 is now a 6.2 and with less kW.

The M120 7.2 with 91,5 x 90 dont´t make 7176 cm³ but 7102 cm³.
