据最新报道,下一代奔驰SL和SLK将与现行版有很大不同。首先也是最重要的，新一代车型将采用新的MSA模块运动车平台。这将进一步降低SLK成本，同时更具运动感，这主要是由于新车重量分配进一步优化，同时重心进一步降低。虽然目前不清楚新车造型风格变化，但SL可能不再采用折叠金属硬顶而是普通的软顶。至于动力系统，SLK预计将搭载一台四缸汽油引擎，功率为175千瓦/238马力，另外还有一系列六缸引擎，功率分别为245千瓦/333马力，275千瓦/375马力和320千瓦/435马力。如果觉得动力不够强劲，还有一款黑色系列车型，功率提升至342千瓦/465马力。而SL可能会提供一台3.0升直列六缸引擎，功率为268千瓦/365马力和320千瓦/435马力。如果一切进展顺利，预计奔驰将于2020年发布新一代SLK，2021年发布新一代SL。

 

Next-generation Mercedes SL could ditch the retractable hardtop

According to a recent report, the next-generation Mercedes SL and SLK will be a radical departure from their predecessors.

 

First and foremost, the cars are expected to ride on the new modular sports car architecture (MSA). This will reduce costs while making the SLK will be sportier thanks to better weight distribution and a lower center of gravity.

 

Little is known about the car's styling but could but the SL could eschew the folding metal roof for a conventional soft top.

 

Under the hood, the SLK is expected to feature a four-cylinder petrol engine with 238 HP (175 kW). There could also be an assortment of six-cylinder units with outputs of roughly 333 HP (245 kW), 375 HP (275 kW) and 435 HP (320 kW). If that's not powerful enough, there are already rumors about a Black Series variant with 465 HP (342 kW).

 

The SL, on the other hand, could be offered with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that has outputs of 365 HP (268 kW) and 435 HP (320 kW).
