奔驰-AMG继年初发布了GT53,GT63和GT63S之后，近日又发布了一款入门级车型GT43。该车与GT53搭载相同的3.0升直列六缸引擎，但功率进一步调低，虽然如此，对于大多数人来说，这样的功率水平已经足够了。GT43最大功率270千瓦/367马力，峰值扭矩500牛米。车辆百公里加速时间4.9秒，最高时速270公里。虽然功率降低，但该车能够实现最大功率输出的引擎转速从6100转/分降至5500转/分，峰值扭矩达到转速同为1800转/分。无论是GT53还是GT43均配备相同的4Matic+全驱系统及完全可变扭矩分配，搭配九速自动变速器，而EQBoost可在短时间内为车辆额外提供16千瓦/22马力功率和250牛米的扭矩输出。至于价格，GT43在德国起价95259欧元（约合人民币75.92万元）。

 

Mercedes-AMG GT 43 Four-Door Coupe Debuts With Inline-Six Engine

After unveiling the GT 53, GT 63, and GT 63 S earlier this year, Mercedes-AMG is extending the Four-Door Coupe’s lineup with the introduction of an entry-level model. Sitting on those glorious retro-flavored Monoblock wheels, the new GT 43 gets the same turbocharged inline-six 3.0-liter engine as the GT 53, but obviously with less power, yet still enough for most people.

 

While the “53” model has 435 horsepower (320 kilowatts) and 520 Newton-meters (384 pound-feet) of torque, the new base Four-Door Coupe has to make do with “only” 367 hp (270 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft). Losing 68 hp and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) has added four tenths of a second to the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) sprint, which now takes 4.9 seconds. As far as top speed is concerned, it has decreased by 10 mph (15 kph) to 168 mph (270 kph) compared to the GT 53.

 

Although it’s down on power, you get the whole shebang sooner in the rpm range (5,500 rpm compared to 6,100 rpm) while the full torque kicks in at the same 1,800 rpm. Both cars share the 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system with fully variable torque distribution, the nine-speed automatic transmission, and the EQ Boost offering an extra 22 hp (16 kW) and 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) for a brief moment.

 

When it comes to pricing, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 53 Four-Door Coupe (it’s quite the mouthful, isn’t it?) kicks off from €109,182 in Germany where the lesser “43” model can be had for €95,259. The company is already accepting orders and will sell the entry-level car with virtually the same equipment and options you get in the more powerful “53” variant.

 

Availability in the United States is not known at this point, but Mercedes-AMG has confirmed the 63 and 63 S will arrive early next year while the 53 is due by mid-2019.
