最近谍照记者拍到了2017款奔驰E63原型车冬季测试照片。预计奔驰将在今年10月的巴黎车展发布该车。从照片看，E63的外观设计介乎于C级和E级轿车之间，基本上就是升级版的C63。虽然车身部分伪装遮盖了很多细节，但车尾的四缸排气尾管还是暴露其身份，另外硕大的刹车盘，黑色的AMG合金轮圈在瑞典北部的雪地里也显得分外显眼。该车动力系统为一台取自C63和GT的4.0升V8双涡轮增压引擎，预计E63标准版功率达到550马力，而E63 S功率提升至580马力，同时不再提供后驱而是只提供4MATIC四驱。奔驰将首先发布E63轿车，随后是旅行车、轿跑车和敞篷车。

 

2017 Mercedes-AMG E63 seen getting a refill

Winter testing is in full swing and the latest car captured on camera by our spy photographers was a 2017 Mercedes-AMG E63 prototype.

 

The E Class has finally made the transition to the W213 generation after an endless string of spy content and official teasers. If you are patiently waiting for the fully-fledged AMG version, chances are it will be out in the second half of the year, so we could see it live at the Paris Motor Show in October.

 

Taking into account the obvious design similarities between the C Class Sedan and the E Class Sedan, expect the upcoming Mercedes-AMG E63 to basically look like an upsized C63. The latest spy images come to confirm our expectation as the partially camouflaged prototype hides a familiar design with a quad exhaust setup denoting it’s the range-topping E. It also has a set of massive brake discs stopping the large black AMG alloys on the icy roads of northern Sweden.

 

Lurking underneath the disguised hood is a stronger iteration of the biturbo 4.0-liter V8 taken from the C63 and the GT. In this new application, the motor will likely develop somewhere in the region of 550 horsepower in the standard E63 and up to 580 hp in the E63 S. The new high-performance midsize model from Daimler could eschew the rear-wheel drive layout in favor of a 4MATIC-only arrangement.

 

Following the E63 AMG Sedan’s launch, Mercedes will add the wagon version which will eventually be followed by coupe and cabrio E63s.
