New spy shots have emerged of the much rumored Mercedes-Benz SLC supercar, which is said to replace the already legendary SLR. AutoWeek has published pictures of a test mule making rounds on a track, but heavily masked with plastic and tape. Rumor has it that the codenamed C197 will have a AMG V8 with 580 to 600hp and go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds. Even with a V8, the supercar should be on par if not better than the outgoing SLR, due to its weight advantage, mostly because aluminum and carbon fiber will be used in the construction of the frame and body.

Interior spy-shots of upcoming SLC emerge

mercedes slc gullwing interior spy shots 540x295 Interior spy shots of upcoming SLC emerge
Ninja photographers were able to infiltrate the secret Mercedes-Benz testing grounds and take some pretty detailed pictures of the SLC interior. Well we’re not really sure that they actually infiltrated anything, since the pictures seem like magazine scans, but we’re going think that way anyways.

These are definitely some of the first interior pictures we have seen of the SLC, which is supposed to replace the SLR in the coming years. Just like any Mercedes-Benz offspring, the SLC shares a few visible components with his brothers; mostly notable is the steering wheel, which can be found in the current SL 63 AMG. The pictures are so grainy, that the interior feels a bit old to me, kinda plasticy.

Besides the interior, the SLC beast will have a 6.2l V8 with an output of at least 550 hp. Another rumored detail, besides the Geneva 2010 debut, is that the vehicle will only be branded as an AMG, and won’t have any Mercedes-Benz insignia on it.

mercedesgullwingdoors spy shots 535x296 Mercedes Gullwing SLC Spy Shots and Car Detail Revealed
Car Magazine has revealed some interesting and super cool details on the Mercedes-Benz Gullwing SLC. As you can see on these spy shots, taken at a test track, the Gullwing SLC will as the name suggests have its wing doors, which is a tribute to the original 1950′s Gullwing. We might be able to see a prototype of the SLC as early as autumn of 2009, but it won’t be officially announced until 2010 at the Geneva auto show. One of the most interesting rumors about the car, is the fact that it won’t have a Mercedes star anywhere on the car, but will instead only wear a AMG badge – didn’t see that one coming.

The price of the SLC is said to be at around 150,000 Euro, which when compared to the SLR is pretty cheap. The weight of vehicle will be around 1650kg, which is lighter than the SLR and 235kg less than the SL55. It will be powered by the AMG tuned 6.3 liter V8 and produce and output of 571hp, which should propel the SLC from 0-60mph in 3.8 sec with a top speed of 197mph.

Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG caught testing at Nürburgring

by (RSS feed) July 2nd, 2008 at 10:24 am


The guys at InsideLine have gotten their hands on some very cool video of the so called SLC AMG being tested and prepped at Nürburgring. The SLC, not the official name, is rumored to be the replacement for the current SLR. While getting rid of the SLR name would be idiotic, the fact that AMG and HWA (racing wing of Mercedes) will be buidling this new monster might be an indication that everything will be overhauled. HWA will probably work on the body and suspension, and AMG will concentrate on what they do the best – the engine. It’s rumored that the SLC will boast an impressive 700 hp with a 7-speed automatic trany. Check out the video, and be sure to crank up the volume.
