现行版奔驰SL R231车型是在五年前上市的，虽然该车不是畅销车型，但奔驰扔计划推出新一代车型。最近该车合成图曝光，从图片看，它采用全新前大灯，其造型源自AMG Vision Gran Turismo概念车。全新SL照片去年多次被记者拍到，但它采用了缩短后的S级S63规格轿跑车车身。据传第七代车型将不会采用折叠硬顶而是类似R129（1989-2002年车型）的织物软顶。如果真是这样，新车重量将进一步降低，同时由于织物软顶机械结构简单，占用空间小，行李箱空间将进一步增加。该车采用的全新内部结构实际上取自奔驰-AMG GT。至于减重，2019款SL重量降低主要是由于该车内部结构主要取自奔驰-AMG GT。实际上该车与双门版GT和敞篷版共享同一平台。至于动力系统，SL65将搭载V12引擎，而入门级车型将搭载取自S级改款车的“M256”直列六缸引擎，该引擎在S级上的功率为300千瓦/408马力，扭矩500牛米。
2019 Mercedes SL Render Has Us Yearning For More
The current R231 model was launched about five years ago and even though it’s far from being a strong seller, the SL-Class is expected to live on into the next decade. A new generation is currently in the works and that’s why we have decided to see into the future of the Sport Leicht by speculatively rendering the all-new gen with headlights derived from the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept.
The all-new SL was spotted a couple of times last year while undergoing testing, but it was hiding underneath the body of shorter S-Class Coupe in the S63 specificatio.
The seventh generation will allegedly eschew the electrically folding hardtop and switch to a fabric roof like the R129 (1989-2002). If the rumors are going to pan out, the new SL is going to lose some weight as a result of adopting the new soft top, which should also free up additional trunk space thanks to the simpler roof mechanism.
Since we’ve mentioned weight, most of the diet will actually come from the all-new underpinnings borrowed from the Mercedes-AMG GT. Indeed, the 2019 SL is expected to ride on same platform as the two-door GT coupes and convertibles.
As far as the engines are concerned, the silky smooth V12 will likely solider on in the SL65 since we simply can’t imagine the gran tourer without it. Mercedes will soon introduce a new inline-six “M 256” gasoline unit in the S-Class facelift and that seems likely a suitable to find its way inside the SL’s engine bay for an entry-level variant. In the refreshed S-Class Sedan, the new mill will develop in excess of 408 horsepower (300 kilowatts) and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters) of torque.
