宾利已经为搭载12缸引擎的车型提供了全驱系统,接下来,奔驰也将这么做。奔驰-AMG CEO Tobias Moers近日表示,公司最终将为搭载V12双涡轮增压引擎的车型提供全驱系统。这位高管还透露,V12引擎动力将更强劲,这有助于进一步拉大V8和V12引擎之间的距离。此外,下一代E63将配备新的九速AMG Speedshift自动变速器,该车还将配备取自C63S轿跑车的电控后差速器。
Mercedes-AMG to offer all-wheel drive on V12-powered models
Bentley has been making a pretty penny selling twelve-cylinder models with all-wheel drive and it appears Mercedes-AMG has finally taken notice.
In a recent interview, Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers told Car & Driver the company will eventually offer an all-wheel drive system on models equipped with the twin-turbo V12 engine. The executive also revealed the V12 engine will become more powerful as he wants to create a "meaningful" power gap between the V8 and V12 engines.
Besides talking about engines, Moers confirmed the next-generation E63 will be equipped with a new nine-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission. The executive also said the car will be available the electronic rear differential that is offered on the C63 S Coupe.
