奔驰S级双门版比四门轿车发布的时间更晚,因此双门版的改款车开发速度有点慢。但最近谍照记者在斯图加特拍到了S63轿跑车和敞篷车照片。这两款车仍采用顺滑的外观设计,另外这两款车都采用更具现代雕刻感轮圈。S63的车头采用最新的Panamericana格栅设计,更粗的竖条格栅是向外凸的,而非向内凹的。整个保险杠的造型也改变了,侧进气口与中间部分并没有连接,而它的前大灯造型基本没变。补过,奇怪的是,S63敞篷版只是对尾灯组进行了测试。这两款车的动力系统与最近发布的E63一样,同为一台4.0升双涡轮增压引擎,功率612马力,扭矩900牛米,搭配九速变速箱和全驱系统。轿跑车百公里加速时间3.5秒,而敞篷车则稍慢一些,但仍不逊色于竞争车型。不差钱的消费者会更青睐S65车型,该车仍将搭载老款的V12引擎。不过这两种车的输出功率差别很小,几乎到了可以忽略不计的程度,考虑到S65后轮驱动的弊端,该车加速性能将比S63显著落后。
Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe and Cabriolet Facelift Spied, Panamericana Grille Stands
The two-door S-Class models are younger than the sedan. So the development of the mid-life facelift is a little slower. But it's still happening, and we have a couple of pictures showing the S63 version of both the Coupe and the Cabriolet in Stuttgart.
The sleekness of the design is still the same, as both cars look like modern sculptures with wheels.
At the front, the S63 sports the latest Panamericana grille design, which features bolder vertical bars that are convex (pushed outwards) instead of concave.
The design of the whole bumper has had to be changed, as the side air intakes aren't connected in the middle. For those who suffer from nostalgia, it seems Mercedes has left the headlight design largely the same. Oddly though, the S63 Cabriolet is only testing the taillights.
Under the hood, both models are going to sport roughly the same engine as the recently revealed E63 model. This twin-turbo 4.0-liter delivers 612 hp and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque. Thanks to a 9-speed gearbox and AWD system, both tuned to AMG specifications, the Coupe is going to jump to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds. Sure, the S63 Cabriolet model will be a little slower, but it will still deliver a pace few rivals can match.
The ultra-rich are likely to continue being interested in the S65 model, which will continue to use the old V12 engine, despite the facelift. But with the power gap down to almost nothing and the disadvantage of RWD, it's going to be a noticeably slower sprinter.
