Mercedes-Benz SLC

New details have emerged on the upcoming SLC. So what we know so far is that it will be the little sibling to the current SLS AMG®. We previously thought that the SLS AMG® was going to be discontinued  and replaced with the SLC. But that is not the case and we have learned to help differentiate the models, the SLC will not have the gullwing doors. The SLC will be lighter and smaller than the SLS, utilizing  carbon fiber and aluminum. Also it will have an all new engine, a 4.0 liter V8 engine producing 450 hp and the Black Series will have a 500 hp version of the same engine.  The SLC is going to be positioned as the main rival for the Porsche 911. Hopefully we will see the coupe and convertible version of the SLC sometime in 2015.
