最近谍照记者拍到了奔驰GLC轿跑车雪地测试照片，该车将在今年晚些时候发布。这款接近量产版原型车部分进行了伪装，前大灯部分没有任何伪装。这款车源自GLC标准版，车辆前半部分与标准版一样，只有后半部分有所改变，车顶线条进一步向下倾斜，侧面轮廓类似轿跑车，类似GLE轿跑车。与GLE轿跑车相比，这款车的车身比例似乎更协调。不过，由于车顶后部向下倾斜，后排头部空间将受到影响，行李箱容积也更小。至于动力系统，由于这辆原型车实际上是Mercedes-AMG GLC 43，因此搭载一台3.0升V6双涡轮增压引擎，预计功率362马力，扭矩384磅-英尺（约合520牛米）。不过，德国媒体报道，该引擎功率达到395马力，但这需要等待车厂证实。奔驰预计将在6月发布该车，随后将于9月上市。而Mercedes-AMG GLC 43在GLC63上市之前将成为GLC轿跑车顶级款，而GLC63则搭载一台4.0升V8双涡轮增压引擎。

 

Mercedes GLC Coupe spied in heavy snow with V6 engine

Fresh spy footage provides another look at the Mercedes GLC Coupe before the model’s official launch later this year.

 

Spotted in Germany, the near-production prototype was partially undisguised and was being driven without any camouflage on the headlights. Unsurprisingly, these are carried over from the regular GLC and it’s easy to notice the front half of the crossover coupe has remained virtually the same. Only the rear half has gone through some changes as the roofline is now more sloped to mimic the profile of a coupe in the same vein as the larger GLE Coupe.

The proportions of the model seem to be better compared to the GLE Coupe, but keep in mind the crossover coupe will lose some of its rear headroom and trunk capacity. The same thing happened to the BMW X3 crossover which was transformed into a "coupe" labeled X4.

 

The prototype seen here is actually the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe which will feature a biturbo 3.0-liter V6 engine expected to have 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. However, German media is reporting the motor will be bumped to 395 hp (401 PS), but we’ll have to wait for a confirmation.

 

Mercedes is expected to introduce the GLC Coupe in production guise this June before the model will hit dealerships in September. The GLC 43 Coupe will be available from day one and is going to sit on top of the range, until the arrival of the GLC 63 Coupe likely in 2017 with a biturbo 4.0-liter V8 engine.
