In this way, Mercedes-Benz -AMG SL is not only the latest convertible sports car, but also will lead the Mercedes-Benz convertible sports car series into a new era.
This massiness is inseparable from the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL car which was born in 1952. It won many championships at that time and was one of the legendary sports cars in automobile history. Nearly 70 years later, the new Mercedes -AMG SL was officially released. The newly designed net not only has the function of active air intake, but also pays tribute to the classics by imitating the straight waterfall grille of the racing car, which is composed of 14 vertical shape.
Although the classic continues, there are several major changes in the new model. Compared with the previous generation, the design of soft-top convertible is the biggest difference. The cancellation of the hard top structure greatly reduces the center of gravity of the new car, and the weight of the whole soft top convertible mechanism is only 2 1 kg, which also greatly reduces the folded volume. Within 60km/h, the opening or closing process only takes 15s.
It is worth noting that the new model is the first sports car built by Mercedes-Benz with a brand-new structure, with an all-aluminum structure and a white weight of only 270 kg. The replacement AMG GT coupe will also be built on this platform, and perhaps SL's entry into Mercedes -AMG is also related to this, although it retains the 2+2 layout.
Taking Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a warning, the new AMG SL must have absolute strength in the face of competing products, which is also caused by the real competitive environment between users' needs and brands. I believe that the lap speed of the new Borgling won't keep you waiting too long.
Someone who is good will compare the new car with the AMG GT sports car on sale. Although the side shapes of the two cars are similar, they are almost incomparable in terms of front suspension length, engine position, cockpit position and 2+2 layout of AMG SL. What's more, the AMG GT sports car is about to usher in a successor model.
In the process of transforming into a competitive road, the new Mercedes -AMG SL adopted all-wheel drive and rear wheel steering technology for the first time. At the same time, there are AMG active driving control suspension with active hydraulic roll stability function and high performance ceramic composite braking system. There is also an active air intake control system, which is started in two stages, and the latter will start working after the speed of180 km/h.
It is worth mentioning that there is a mysterious primitive carbon structure hidden under the car body in front of the engine. Its weight is about 2 kg. In AMG driving mode, it can extend downward by about 40 mm when the speed exceeds 80 km/h, which can effectively increase the pressure under the front axle and provide better stability and accuracy for vehicle steering.
In addition, the newly designed rim further optimizes the air resistance, and the 20-inch style also effectively reduces the weight. The tail wing is integrated on the trunk lid and can be divided into five angles to optimize the stability of the vehicle and reduce the resistance. The drag coefficient of the whole vehicle is 0.3 1.
Unexpectedly, the V 12 engine is not in the choice of vehicle power system, and there is no news for pure electric vehicles. The plug-in hybrid system of AMG E PERFORMANCE, which appeared on the AMG GT four-door sports car, will be launched later.
At present, Mercedes -AMG SL offers two 4.0T V8 engines. AMG SL 55 4MATIC+ has a maximum power of 350 kW, a peak torque of 700 Nm, an acceleration time of 3.9 seconds per 100 km and a top speed of 295 km/h. After increasing the turbine pressure and intake flow, the maximum power of AMG SL 63 4MATIC+ is 430 kW, a peak torque of 800 Nm, an acceleration time of 3.6 seconds per 100 km and a top speed of 365,438+00. ..
It is reported that engineers have redesigned the new oil pan by assembling this 4.0T V8 engine under the new framework. At the same time, the intercooler and crankshaft ventilation box have also been re-matched. In the future, there will be 6-cylinder engines as entry-level models, or AMG 43 and 53 series will be listed.
I have talked a lot about the topic of vehicle machinery. In fact, for ordinary users, 12 paint color, 3 roof colors, 3 rim styles, "meteor shower" digital headlights, "Hyperanalog" cockpit, etc. Might be more attractive. After all, it is an out-and-out soft-top convertible with a three-pronged star sign.
I believe that Mercedes -AMG will definitely introduce a brand-new SL into the China market. It is not only the latest product of Mercedes-Benz, but also the most powerful sports car in AMG family. In terms of competing products, Porsche has no higher-level models except 9 1 1, and can only rely on different power configurations to participate in the confrontation. On the other hand, the resurrected BMW 8 Series does not seem to be satisfactory. Even if there is a "door-to-door" M8, it is more like a BMW routine.
Mercedes-Benz -AMG SL is competitive, and this competitor may have to aim at the entry-level model of the super-running team. The author predicts that the price of the new SL 63 in China will be higher than 2 million yuan.
abstract
Take mercedes benz c-class, Mercedes-Benz E-class coupe and convertible as examples. They are all derivatives of the car platform. In the planning of sports car products, Mercedes-Benz directly rose to a higher level, while taking compact platform models as the main driving control. I wonder if this change will affect the adjustment of old rivals Audi and BMW?
As Mercedes -AMG SL, the iconic sports car of Mercedes-Benz, insisting on pure internal combustion engine power means that more EQ family products are needed to balance carbon emissions. But from the current book design and mechanical data analysis, the brand-new model has many selling points. The acceleration of 100 kilometers in 4 seconds is enough to make it into the first line.
In the future, we will defend Mercedes-Benz's sports car camp together with the successor of AMG GT. If you have any expectations for AMG, I hope that the V8 power will not disappear.
