奔驰近日发布了2017款GLC43轿跑车。该车搭载一台V6双涡轮引擎和重新调校悬挂，这款高性能GLC操控性非常好，在入门级的GLC300和GLC63之间取得很好的平衡。该车与43系列其他车型搭载相同经过AMG调校引擎，功率362马力，扭矩384磅-英尺（约合520牛米）。这款全轮驱动车型0-96公里/小时加速时间4.8秒，这主要得益于该车配备的9G-Tronic九速自动变速器将动力的动力分配。该车配备了奔驰的“动态操控选择”模式，此外还有节能、舒适、运动、运动强化和个性化模式，满足不同驾驶习惯的驾驶员。另外，4Matic全驱系统经过AMG的调校，将前后轮扭矩分配比例调整为前轮31%，后轮69%。悬挂也进行了重新调校，如果C450AMG Sport也进行如此调整，将是一件极好的事情。该车将在即将举行的巴黎车展亮相，随后将很快在全球上市。而美版车将于明年一季度上市，随后将上市GLC300轿跑车。

 

Never mind the fact that the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe isn't actually a coupe, the swoopy five-door is following in the footsteps of its more conventional sibling with the addition of this AMG GLC43 variant. Featuring a biturbocharged V6 and a retuned suspension, this hotter GLC ought to be pretty nice to drive, striking a great balance between the base GLC300 and upcoming (we hope) GLC63.

 

Under the hood, Mercedes uses the same AMG-tuned engine found in the rest of its 43-series range, a biturbo 3.0-liter V6 with 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. That's enough power to propel the all-wheel-drive crossover-coupe to 60 miles per hour in just 4.8 seconds, all that power being managed by Merc's super-smooth 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic transmission.

 

Mercedes' usual Dynamic Select modes are fitted to the GLC43, with Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual modes offering a broad spectrum of driving characteristics. Plus, the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is retuned for AMG duty, with a default torque split of 31 percent to the front and 69 percent to the rear. The suspension is retuned, as well, and honestly, if this thing drives anything like the C450 AMG Sport (soon to be C43) on which its based, we expect very good things.

 

We won't have to wait long to see the Mercedes-AMG GLC43 Coupe – it'll bow at the Paris Motor Show in late September. Global sales will kick off shortly thereafter, with U.S.-spec models set to arrive in the first quarter of 2017, following the launch of the GLC300 Coupe.
