奔驰近日正式发布S级敞篷车,该车将在法兰克福车展期间与公众见面。作为“目前最漂亮,也是最独特S级车型之一”的敞篷版外观与轿跑车非常接近。但它没有采用固定硬顶,而是代之以三层隔音材料组成的折叠软顶,有黑色、深蓝色、米黄色和深红色四种颜色可选。虽然软顶面积很大,但开启和关闭仅需20秒,不过要在车速不超过60公里时才能打开或关闭。车厢内装也与轿跑车版本基本相同,但提供了全新THERMOTRONIC智能气候控制系统,无论顶蓬打开或关闭都可为乘客提供舒适的环境。该车还提供了大量的内饰选择,包括真皮,纳帕真皮和Exclusive纳帕真皮等。选装件也很丰富,其中Warmth Comfort套装包括加热座椅/扶手/方向盘。AIR-BALANCE套装可为车内输送各种不同的香氛。如果对香气不感兴趣,还可选装AIRCAP风挡系统或AIRSCARF颈部暖风系统。至于动力系统,入门级的S500搭载一台4.7升V8双涡轮增压引擎,功率335千瓦/455马力,扭矩700牛米。而S63 AMG或S63 AMG 4MATIC搭载5.5升V8双涡轮增压引擎,功率430千瓦/585马力,扭矩900牛米。车辆百公里加速时间3.9秒,最高时速250公里。奔驰S级敞篷车将于12月开始在德国接受预订,随后将于明年春季交付。
Mercedes S-Class Cabrio officially unveiled
Mercedes has officially unveiled the S-Class Cabrio following a leak earlier today.
Billed as one of the "most beautiful and exclusive S-Class cars of all time," the model closely echoes the S-Class Coupe but it eschews the fixed roof for a retractable three-layer acoustic soft top which is available in black, dark blue, beige and dark red. Despite its relatively large size, the roof can be opened or closed in approximately 20 seconds at speeds up to 60 km/h (37.2 mph).
The interior also follows in the footsteps of the coupe but it gains an all-new THERMOTRONIC intelligent climate control system which promises to keep occupants comfortable regardless of whether the roof is opened or closed. The convertible also offers an extensive assortment of upholstery choices including leather, nappa leather and designo Exclusive nappa leather.
Speaking of options, the model can be equipped with a Warmth Comfort package which includes heated seats, heated armrests and a heated multifunction steering wheel. Customers can also order an AIR-BALANCE package which can waft a variety of fragrances into the cabin. If smells aren't your thing, you can order an optional AIRCAP automatic wind protection system or the familiar AIRSCARF neck-level heating system.
The entry-level S500 Cabrio is powered by a twin-turbo 4.7-liter V8 that develops 455 PS (335 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. Buyers looking for something more powerful can opt for the S63 AMG or S63 AMG 4MATIC Cabrio which have a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 engine that cranks out 585 PS (430 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque. It allows the all-wheel drive variant to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds before hitting an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
The Mercedes S-Class Cabrio will go up for order in Germany in December and the first deliveries are slated for the spring of 2016.
