奔驰近日正式发布了2014款S 63 AMG轿跑车。该车与最近发布的AMG其他车型一样采用了相对低调和保守的外观风格，车身组件略显侵略性，包括更大进气口，肌肉感侧裙和镀铬装饰四排气尾管和周围的黑色抛光散流器。同时提供了19英寸钛灰色多辐AMG锻造轻质合金轮圈以及前255/45 R19，后285/40 R19轮胎。该车的核心和灵魂是一台5.5升V8双涡轮增压引擎，最大功率430千瓦/577马力，扭矩900牛米，比原来的CL 63 AMG提升了30千瓦/41马力和100牛米。除了动力提升外，该车重量还比前代车型降低了65公斤，重量功率比大的3.41公斤/马力。S 63 AMG轿跑车后轮驱动版本百公里加速时间4.3秒，经过电子限速后的最高时速为250公里，如果选择4MATIC四驱版本，百公里加速时间3.9秒，不过四驱版本只提供左舵车型。与引擎搭配的是七速运动变速器，可提供“C”（省油），“S”（运动）和“M”（手动）三种模式。除了AIRMATIC空气悬挂和MAGIC BODY CONTROL魔幻车身控制外，该车还与标准版S级轿跑车一样配备了主动弯道侧倾系统，该系统能够在时速30公里至时速180公里的区间主动对车身在弯道侧倾进行修正和控制，最大角度可达2.5度，以此获得更好的行驶舒适性和稳定性。如果愿意花更多的钱，还可以配备陶瓷复合刹车盘和20英寸10辐AMG Performance Studio轮圈。车厢内配备AMG运动座椅，Nappa真皮装饰和平底三辐方向盘。该车与最近发布的AMG车型一样还可提供“Edition 1”版本，不过该车要在一年后发布。这款车的LED前大灯镶嵌了施华洛世奇水晶，同时还提供Exclusive Nappa真皮装饰运动座椅，专属地毯，车门侧踏板带有发光AMG字样，夜视辅助系统，高亮度抛光黑色实木装饰和其他高端配置。2014款S63 AMG轿跑车将在下月开幕的纽约车展首次亮相，4MATIC四驱版本也将从4月开始接受预订，而后期版本从7月开始接受预订。新车从9月开始交付。
Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe goes official, debuts in New York next month
Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the more potent S 63 AMG Coupe version.
Like most recent AMG models, the S63 AMG Coupe adopts a rather tamed and restrained exterior appearance with a slightly more aggressive body equipped with larger vents, muscular side skirts and a quad exhaust with chromed tailpipes flanking the glossy black diffuser. It rides on 19-inch titanium grey multi-spoke AMG forged light alloy wheels wrapped around in 255/45 R19 and 285/40 R19 tires.
Its heart and soul is a twin-turbo V8 5.5-liter engine delivering 577 bhp (430 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque which makes it 41 bhp (30 kW) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) more powerful than the outgoing CL 63 AMG. Besides the added muscles, the S63 AMG Coupe is also 65 kg (143 lbs) lighter compared to its predecessor and offers a power-to-weight ratio of 3.41 kg / bhp.
The rear-wheel drive model needs 4.3 seconds to get from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) and has an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Opt for the 4MATIC variant and the sprint time decreases to 3.9 seconds but we should mention Mercedes-Benz plans on offering this version only with a left-hand drive configuration. As usual, the engine is coupled to a seven-speed sports gearbox with three modes: "C" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport) and "M" (Manual).
Besides the usual AIRMATIC air suspension and MAGIC BODY CONTROL, the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe can also feature a curve tilting function which debuted on the regular S-Class Coupe enabling the vehicle to "lean into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier." It can be turned on between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 119 mph (180 km/h) and it's capable of diminishing the lateral accelerations felt by the passengers by inclining the body up to 2.5 degrees.
For more money the S63 AMG Coupe can be configured with ceramic composite brakes as well as 20-inch ten-spoke AMG Performance Studio wheels, while on the inside there are AMG sport seats, Nappa leather upholstery and a flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel.
Like most recent AMG models, there will be an "Edition 1" version available only one year after the car's launch. It will come with Swarovski crystals in the LED headlights, AMG sport seats wrapped in Exclusive Nappa leather, bespoke floor mats, illuminated AMG lettering on the door sill panels, Night View Assist Plus, a high-gloss black wood trim and other goodies.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe will make its public debut next month at the New York Auto Show. Order books for the 4MATIC version will open in April, followed by the RWD model in July. Deliveries are slated to commence in September.
