Different people may give different answers:
Maybe a Mercedes-Benz 300? Hans, founder of SERACEING-IN AMG? Werner? Auffray hurt? With Ahmed? In the hands of melcher, the straight six engine successfully squeezed out 238Ps, winning the German RV championship in one fell swoop.
Could it be 1969 modified Mercedes-Benz 280? E—— the masterpiece of this AMG brand, the power of the 2.8L engine is increased from 185Ps to 230Ps, and the top speed is 230km/h. ..
Could it be AMG in 197 1? Mercedes? 300? SEL？ 6.8—— The displacement is increased from 6.3L to 6.8L, and the power is increased from 300Ps to 420Ps. A Mercedes-Benz that can be called a behemoth is getting a Spa? At the same time of winning the same level in the 24-hour endurance race, he also got the second good result in the overall ranking.
......
There are still many past events that people talk about. For example, 1988, AMG can run Mercedes-Benz 300? e？ 6.0? 6.0L on AMG? V8 engine squeezed out 365Ps and became one of the best V8 engines at that time.
In short, the story about AMG is always inseparable from the high-performance and high-horsepower engine.
That big-displacement "suit thug" is about to disappear.
As the research and development department of Mercedes-Benz, AMG is 55? AMG series, 63? AMG series, 65? AMG series are all enjoyable. Known for its large displacement, but different from BMW M? Based on the fun of power and the technology of Audi RS, AMG has always emphasized maintaining the original elegance of Mercedes-Benz, but at the same time it is very hungry for power.
▲ Later, we used to call it "suit thug aesthetics"
The most exciting SLS? AMG, or even directly skip BMW M Series or Audi R8, and be on the same benchmark as Ferrari? 458? , McLaren? MP4- 12C is rigid.
M 159 engine (6.3L? V8) has the power sense of a typical large-displacement naturally aspirated engine. 0- 100km/h accelerates for 3.7 seconds, and 0-200 km/h only takes 1 1.2 seconds ... plus the classic gull wing door and the long dash? Where to? Axle (the distance from the front axle to the A-pillar), elegance is everywhere. No wonder when you see it on the F 1 track, everything will be bleak.
▲AMG believes in "suit thug aesthetics" and is obsessed with squeezing power instead of directly changing engines. Every AMG engine has the signature of an engineer, which has become a household story for a time.
So when Mercedes-Benz AMG put forward a new generation of AMG that is expected to be listed in the early 2020s? c？ 63 will give up V8 twin-turbo engine and choose to switch to four-cylinder+hybrid system, which makes quite a few people very unhappy.
You know, everyone is crazy about 6.2L? V8 self-priming engine, AMG? c？ 63 was called "German Muscle Car", and later it was changed to 4.0L? The V8 twin-turbo engine is acceptable, but it will become a four-cylinder engine in a few years, which is so frustrating.
The opposite BMW M series didn't compromise, even the M2 used 3.0T? L6 engine.
Of course, the motivation for doing this is obvious-it is suitable for energy saving, emission reduction and fuel saving.
We saw that even AMG was officially resurrected at the end of 20 19. 73, also showed a gesture of not looking back.
Series 73 will be the new top model in AMG family, but it will be changed to 4.0L instead of V 12 engine. V8+ EQ? Power hybrid system.
If you want to relive the explosion of V 12, you can only visit pagani. Mercedes-Benz will be 7.3L? The V 12 engine was sold to pagani in pagani? Chongda? f？ On Cinque, the engine was set to 678Ps, and the acceleration of 0- 100km/h was 3.4 seconds, and that of 0-200km/h was only 9.6 seconds.
Will small displacement destroy AMG?
In recent years, Mercedes-Benz has been expanding the coverage of AMG brand and trying to produce its AMG version on every Mercedes-Benz series. The advantage is to improve the tonality of the product, but there are bound problems inevitably, so the lack of independent AMG really weakens the right to speak in the choice of power configuration.
▲ Of course, not all Mercedes-Benz models will have AMG versions. The person in charge of AMG said that the electric car will not get the complete AMG version, and AMG will replace it? Line kit
The only gratifying thing is that the small displacement+hybrid model has not affected its outstanding power. Like a new generation of AMG? A45' s 2.0T M 139 engine can be arranged vertically and horizontally, with 42 1Ps. 48V light hybrid system, it is not a big problem to break through 500 horsepower.
New generation AMG? c？ The hybrid system on the 63 will be based on the current AMG? The code on A45 is M 139? A 2.0L in-line 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is developed, which adopts 48V light mixing technology.
Reference A45 dynamic performance, new generation AMG? c？ 63 is not worse than cash 5 10Ps.
▲ Hybrid technology has developed particularly fast in recent years. At that time, it may not be a problem to mix 2.0T+ to 600 horsepower, not to mention small displacement, light weight, more fuel saving and smaller displacement tax.
The data shows that AMG? The maximum power of the 73 will also exceed 800Ps, and the hybrid system has a faster response speed and can output more power to the rear wheels. The acceleration time of 100 kilometers will be less than 3 seconds.
Looking back at history, we know that the core ability of Mercedes -AMG is to squeeze more powerful power on the basis of the original engine, and changing to a high-performance engine is not their favorite routine at first.
It's just that AMG fans are those who are rich and willing to enjoy driving. The significance of AMG's existence is to build a stronger Mercedes-Benz, so how to appease the hearts of fans really needs careful consideration.
How does AMG appease the hearts of fans?
Some people say that BMW M has control, Audi RS has four-wheel drive, and AMG mainly sells the sound and high horsepower similar to muscle cars. Now it is replaced by a small displacement engine, and its strength is not obvious. Whether this is the case or not, in the competition with BMW M, the sales performance of Mercedes-Benz -AMG in recent years is really tepid, but BMW M has been singing all the way.
The good news is that Mercedes -AMG still has a good product output. In recent years, small displacement and high performance engines have sprung up everywhere, and the speed of many small steel guns is no less than that of the previous super-running.
AMG？ A45？ S is the Wang Zhiyi of small steel cannon, compared with BMW 1 Series M and Audi S3? Sportback is not inferior in the competition. Equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, the maximum horsepower is 42 1Ps, the peak torque is 500n·m, and the zero-speed acceleration takes only 3.9 seconds. The 4Matic four-wheel drive system is also equipped with a drift mode.
To stabilize the China market, AMG? Answer? 35? L The sports car is produced by Beijing Benz in domestic form, and the powertrain is produced by Germany K? Produced by lleda factory.
The maximum power of this 2.0T engine is 306Ps, the maximum torque is 400 Nm, it is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the acceleration of 0- 100 km/h is 4.9 seconds. ..
But should AMG consider lowering the price in the future? For example, the price of M5 Thunder Edition 1468900 is higher than that of Mercedes E63? s？ AMG 65,438+0,560, the price in 800 yuan is nearly 654.38+0 million yuan lower. Who will have a hard time with money when the experience is not much different?
Write it at the end
Although you are the royal refit factory of Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz has made it clear that AMG models will also actively respond to the new emission requirements put forward by the European Union. According to the news, they will reduce their product lines by 75% in the future, and their carbon dioxide emissions per 100 kilometers will be reduced by 28%, which is about100g.
Therefore, the difficulties faced by Mercedes-Benz -AMG are only the beginning. You know, judging from the product layout of BMW M and Mercedes-Benz AMG in China market, they obviously take two different routes. BMW M has 14 models, which are all good in strength, while Mercedes-Benz -AMG has as many as 30 models, which is more like shotgun tactics. If the proportion of models is greatly reduced, whether it can stand the test is still unknown.
