In the end, AMG will still burn the electric fire, and the more it burns, the more it will burn. I still remember that HAOGE said in the video earlier that AMG's high-performance model is bound to use PHEV technology in the future. After all, no matter the increasingly stringent environmental protection laws and regulations, or the inherent performance advantages of hybrid models, will promote Mercedes Benz to promote the era of AMG electrification. No, according to the spy photos of road test taken by overseas media, this four door version of Mercedes AMG GT 73 car has come to us. Its appearance will refresh the performance peak position of AMG 63 Series in our impression. But this is not the first time that mercedes-amg has used the naming method of 73. As early as in the Hong Kong opera "the whole world", Tao Dayu's Mercedes SL code R129 is the first 73 model launched by AMG. At that time, the SL loaded with 7.3l V12 represents the highest performance of Mercedes Benz. Later, the engine appeared on the Zonda of the shenche Pagani, with a maximum output horsepower of 525. But perhaps because of environmental regulations or cost, AMG announced in 2001 that it would stop production of R129, and then 73 series was replaced by 63 series. Now, 20 years later, AMG finally revives the legendary 73 series, and takes the title of AMG performance with a 4.0t V8 dual turbocharged engine + electric motor system. With the cooperation of the engine and the motor, the maximum output power can reach 588kw. What is the concept? As a comparison, the most powerful gt63 s series of the current AMG GT car model is 470kw, while the AMG gt r with sports car chassis is 430kw. Further, the Panamera hybrid version of the same hybrid model is 500kW. So there is no doubt that AMG GT 73 is regarded as the wildest model of mercedes-amg GT series? Seeing this, I believe that many netizens have already become enthusiastic, but AMG fans are not happy. After all, the electric fire will erase the original charm of the internal combustion engine. For example, the exhaust sound wave that fascinates the performance control will become boring because of the addition of the hybrid system. But that's the problem that we have to face in the evolution of cars. Just like the old generation of C63 with 6.2L V8 self-priming, it will eventually become a 4.0t twin turbo model due to the advent of the turbo era. And the same is true in the era of electrification. With powerful motors, many vehicle enterprises can easily achieve the performance height that fuel engines are difficult to reach. Now even the Porsche 918 Spyder, lafarrari and P1 are all using hybrid technology. What reason can we refuse AMG to enter the era of electrification? And the beginning of 73 Series in AMG GT, in my opinion, will also be the precursor to gradually replace 63 series. Just as 43 series has been gradually replaced by 53 series with light hybrid system, 73 series will eventually enter more high-end models of AMG. Add a digression at the end. Due to the hybrid system, the target model is Turbo S e-hybrid, so 73 is probably called 63s EQ performance or 73 EQ performance instead of GT 73, but it has not been determined yet. Let's wait for AMG's official announcement.
