继Project One超跑之后，奔驰计划在今年11月举行的洛杉矶车展发布混合动力系统，随后将于明年上市。据澳大利亚媒体报道，这项技术结合了奔驰新的3.0升直列六缸涡轮增压引擎（功率320千瓦/430马力）和一台50千瓦/67马力电机，综合功率370千瓦/496马力。首款采用该项技术的车型是下一代CLS，或许随后所有基于MRA平台的车型，包括C级、E级和S级以及GLC、GLE和GLS SUV都将采用该动力系统。奔驰新的混合动力系统是53系列动力系统的一部分。而53系列引擎未来将逐渐提供给奔驰-AMG的43系列车型，该车搭载一台3.0升V6引擎。新的3.0升引擎将受益于一体式起动发电机（ISG）和电子涡轮增压器electric auxiliary compressor (eZV) ，引擎转速提升至70000转/分仅需300毫秒。奔驰-AMG表示，未来将为旗下所有车型提供混动系统，而AMG也证实最终将推出纯电动车型。

New Mercedes-AMG Family Of ‘53’ Hybrid Powertrains Coming 2018

Following the premiere of the Project One hypercar, also a hybrid, the German brand will launch a more civilized hybrid performance powertrain at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, making a market launch in early 2018.

According to a report from Australia’s Motoring, citing “internal sources,” the technology will comprise Mercedes’ new 3.0-liter, inline-six turbocharged engine with 430 horsepower (320 kilowatts) and a 67-hp (50-kW) electric motor for a combined output in the region of 496 hp (370 kW). The first model to benefit from the system will be the next generation CLS, possibly followed by all models of the automaker based on the MRA modular platform, including the C-Class, E-Class and S-Class, and the GLC, GLE and GLS SUVs.

The new hybrid system will be part of a new ‘53’ family and is expected to slowly supplant Mercedes-AMG’s ‘43’ line, powered by a 3.0-liter V6 motor. The new 3.0-liter engine replacing it will benefit from an Integrated Starter-Alternator (ISG) and electric auxiliary compressor (eZV), which boosts up 70,000rpm in just 300 milliseconds.

Mercedes-AMG has already confirmed it will eventually implement hybrid technologies into its entire lineup. Additionally, AMG has also confirmed it will eventually launch all-electric models, as the super rare SLS AMG Electric Drive was a sign of things to come and a “know-how builder for AMG to get our heads around electrification.”
