奔驰-AMG近日发布了2018款E63轿车，奔驰表示：“E63和E63 S轿车是目前动力最强劲的E级车。”这是奔驰在新车发布会上对该车最初的描述，但这只是故事的一半。这款车不仅是最豪华车型之一，还是奔驰技术最先进的车型，它提供了新的更酷的功能，更有助于提升驾驶乐趣。该车动力系统是一台4.0升V8双涡轮引擎，采用双涡管技术以提升性能，降低涡轮迟滞。在E63标准版上，该车功率为420千瓦/563马力，扭矩750牛米，搭配4Matic全轮驱动，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间3.4秒。而性能更优异的E63 S功率提升至450千瓦/603马力，扭矩850牛米，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间3.3秒，最高时速186英里（约合300公里）。与引擎搭配的是九速AMG Speedshift双离合器变速器。至于油耗，虽然对于那些购买600麻辣轿车的人来说已经不在乎油耗了，但该车还是配备了停缸技术，可根据节气门输入和巡航需求关闭第二、三、五和八气缸，不过奔驰并未公布该车的EPA官方数值。AMG Performance 4Matic+全驱系统对于前后轴采用完全可变扭矩分配功能，可将最多100%扭矩完全传递至后轮，从而创造了一个全新行驶模式：漂移模式。而在 E63 S上，漂移模式的激活是必须将行驶模式设置为“Race”模式，此时，ESP关闭，变速器处于手动模式。这时的E63 S成为一辆完全的后驱车型，保持这种状态直至驾驶员关闭漂移模式。在外观上，E63仍保留了E级车漂亮的线条，车尾的排气尾管是黑色的，而轮拱比标准版宽0.5英寸（约合1.27厘米）。车厢内保留了E级车的绝大多数内装，内饰材料更高端，设计更惊艳，目前达到了豪华轿车的领先水平。2018款E63将在11月开幕的洛杉矶车展正式亮相，随后将于明年夏季在美国上市。
2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 revealed with 603 hp and Drift Mode
"The Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan and E63 S Sedan are the most powerful E-Class variants of all time." That's how Mercedes-Benz starts its lengthy press blast about the new AMG E63, but that's only half the story. What you're looking at here is one of the most luxurious, technologically advanced super sedans ever created, and it comes packed with some new cool bits that'll likely make it a total blast to drive.
Under the hood is – you guessed it – Mercedes’ 4.0-liter V8 engine, with a pair of turbochargers that both use twin-scroll technology to improve performance and reduce turbo lag. In the standard E63, this engine is good for 563 horsepower (420 kilowatts) and 553 pound-feet of torque (750 Newton meters), and with 4Matic all-wheel drive, 0-60 happens in just 3.4 seconds. Even more outstanding is the E63 S, which ups the output to 603 hp (450 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm). That model will run to 60 miles per hour in just 3.3 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 186 mph.
This robust engine is mated to a nine-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission. Fuel economy – not that you care about such nonsense in a 600-hp sedan – is further improved with cylinder deactivation, which can shut off cylinders two, three, five, and eight, depending on throttle inputs and cruising demands (of course, Mercedes hasn't released official EPA numbers just yet). The AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system uses fully variable torque distribution at the front and rear axles, and a full 100 percent of the car’s thrust can be delivered to the rear wheels for the AMG E63’s neat, new party trick: Drift Mode.
On the E63 S, Drift Mode is activated when the car is in its Race drive setting, with the ESP deactivated and the transmission in manual mode. With this setup, the E63 S becomes totally rear-wheel drive, and stays this way until the driver turns off Drift Mode.
Visually, the E63 retains all of the new E-Class’ handsome lines, with a serious exhaust setup out back, and wheel arches that are a little more than half an inch wider than on the standard car. Inside, the AMG model retains all of the goodness of the base E-Class, with high-quality materials, incredible design, and the best technology available in the luxury segment right now.
The 2018 AMG E63 will officially debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The car will go on sale early next year, with U.S. market launch set for summer 2017.
