奔驰近日发布了G 500 4×42首张官图,该车将在3月开幕的日内瓦车展首次亮相。
从图片看,该车基本上就是六轮版G级车的四驱版本。它的离地间隙很高,配备了更大的22英寸轮圈和325/55越野轮胎,车身略微改款,增加了碳纤维装饰件。该车搭载一台V8引擎,功率310千瓦/422马力,而标准版G500搭载的5.5升V8引擎功率为285千瓦/387马力。该车将于今年晚些时候投产,考虑到六轮版年产量为20-30辆,这款车也将限量生产。2015款G63 AMG六轮版在德国起价(含增值税)451010欧元(约合人民币315.7万元),因此这款四驱车的价格将低于六轮版。
Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×42 first image released
Mercedes-Benz has released the first image depicting the G500 4×42.
The off-roader was spied testing for the first time back in November in the G63 specification and shortly after that Mercedes-Benz confirmed the model. Now, the first official revealing image with the G500 model has been published and as you would expect it's basically a four-wheel version of its six-wheeled sibling. As a consequence, it gets a considerably increased ground clearance, larger 22-inch wheels with 325/55 off-road tires and a slightly modified body with carbon fiber attachments.
Power comes from a V8 engine developing 422 HP (310 kW) whereas the V8 5.5-liter engine in the regular G500 has 387 HP (285 kW). It should be mentioned the 6x6 variant is available exclusively in the G63 AMG guise.
Mercedes-Benz will release additional details in the days to come, with a public debut likely set for the Geneva Motor Show early next month. At the moment they are referring to the G500 4×42 as a show car but it will most likely hit the assembly line later this year and will be available in limited quantities taking into account the six-wheel version is capped at 20-30 cars per year. It will obviously be less expensive than the 2015 G63 AMG 6x6 which costs €451,010 (VAT included) at home in Germany.
