谍照记者曾于去年五月在纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在测试的奔驰-AMG E63旅行车，最近国外一位网友在路边偶然拍到了全身伪装的该车。拍摄地点位于西班牙巴塞罗那西南35公里的小城 Sitges。从车牌判断，这辆车就是谍照记者去年在纽伯格林赛道拍到的那辆E63原型车。这辆车同样采用了宽轮拱，20英寸轮圈和米其林295轮胎，在轮胎后面是交叉钻孔通风刹车盘。其他值得注意的细节包括前保险杠下面左右两侧的散热孔，或许是为前轮刹车盘输送更多冷空气。预计新车重量进一步降低，百公里加速时间进一步缩短。现行版车型百公里加速时间为3.4秒，预计新车还将降低零点几秒。根据非官方渠道传言，量产版还将提供R版本作为其顶级款，该车将搭载4.0升V8双涡轮引擎，功率将超过现行版的450千瓦/604马力，扭矩850牛米。
Motor1.com Reader Spies AMG E63 Wagon With Beefier Wheel Arches
It was May 2017 when we first saw Mercedes-Benz testing a beefier version of its AMG E63 wagon at the Nurburgring, and now, almost a year later, another prototype has been snapped fully camouflaged. The attached spy photos, taken in Sitges, a town about 22 miles (35 kilometers) southwest of Barcelona, Spain.
Judging by the German license plates, this prototype is from the same series as the AMG 63 wagon filmed on the ‘Ring last year. It has the same wide wheel arches, hiding massive 295-section Michelin winter tires on 20-inch wheels. Behind the wheels, hidden are equally impressive drilled and ventilated brake discs. Other details on this prototype worth noting are the two openings in the front bumper, probably providing cold air for the front brakes.
The camouflage foil is not letting us see more from the design of the vehicle, but we assume some aerodynamic tweaks might be in the cards. They could be combined with a considerable weight diet and more power from the engine for improved 0-62 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) acceleration. Currently, the company’s most powerful and quickest wagon (also the fastest wagon around Nurburgring) needs 3.4 seconds for the classic sprint, so we can expect this figure to go down a few tens of a second.
According to unofficial information, the production version of this hardcore wagon could receive the R suffix and take the crown as the absolute range-topper of the E-Class wagon family. Under the hood should be the familiar 4.0-liter V8 biturbo, probably massaged to deliver a bit more than the current 604 horsepower (450 kilowatts) and 627 pound-feet (850 Newton-meters) of torque.
