最近有人在德国拍到了正在进行测试的奔驰E级轿跑车。该车进行了重度伪装，它的造型遵循了C级和S级轿跑车风格，采用了安装在车门上的后视镜，倾角更大风挡，流线车身。虽然现在看不清细节，但可以看到该车采用了突出格栅，向后延伸前大灯和时尚的车顶线条。在车尾，可以看到包围形尾灯组，棱角分明行李箱和重度伪装后保险杠。预计车辆内装与轿车版一样，包括数字仪表群，宽阔的信息娱乐系统显示屏和更高端内饰材质。车厢内空间更宽敞，后排腿部空间和行李箱容积更大。至于动力系统，预计将搭载一系列新引擎，据传将包括四缸柴油机，功率134千瓦/180马力，另外还有一系列直列六缸汽油和柴油引擎。虽然新车比老款车更大，但由于采用了奔驰的MRA平台，重量将进一步降低。其中轿车版车重降低70-150公斤，因此轿跑车的车重也能达到类似降幅。E级轿跑车预计将在明年底或2017年初发布。

 

2017 Mercedes E-Class Coupe spied for the first time

The Mercedes E-Class Coupe has been spied undergoing testing in Germany.

 

Dressed in heavily camouflage, the model follows in the footsteps of the C- and S-Class Coupes and features door-mounted mirrors, a rakish windscreen, and flowing bodywork. Details are hard to make out but we can see the car will have a prominent grille, sweptback headlights, and a stylish roofline. Out back, the model has wraparound taillights, an angled trunk, and a heavily disguised rear bumper.

 

The interior will likely echo the sedan so expect to see a digital instrument cluster, a wide infotainment display and high-end materials. Customers can also look forward to more accommodating cabin with additional rear seat legroom and a larger trunk.

 

Engine options remain unconfirmed but we can expect to see an assortment of new engines. Nothing is official but choices are rumored to include a four-cylinder diesel that produces approximately 180 hp (134 kW). There should also be an assortment of inline six-cylinder petrol and diesel options.

 

Despite being larger than its predecessor, the E-Class Coupe could be lighter as it will ride on the company's MRA platform. The sedan is expected to lose 154 - 330 lbs (70 - 150 kg) so expect some of the weight saving to carryover.

 

The E-Class Coupe is expected to be launched either late next year or in early 2017.
