The Mercedes-Benz MB 507 was a four-stroke, naturally-aspirated, V-12 diesel marine engine; derived from the MB 503 gasoline engine. The MB 507 was also based on the Daimler-Benz DB 603 inverted V-12 aircraft engine, and shared an identical bore, stroke, and displacement. Unlike the gasoline-powered MB 503, the diesel-powered MB 507 did not use a supercharger.{{Cite web|url=https://oldmachinepress.com/2017/03/05/mercedes-benz-500-series-diesel-marine-engines/|title=Mercedes-Benz 500 Series Diesel Marine Engines|first=William|last=Pearce|date=March 5, 2017}}
