[Report] Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG will not replace SLS AMG, makes more sense

The truth is that the first press reports to the Mercedes-Benz SLC, said that the car will be positioned below the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, after it had become known as Baby-SLS. Later, rumors circulated that the model will replace the SLS, but ultimately under anonymous source of Mercedes-Benz, who spoke at the Australian Carsales, the model will be positioned below the SLS AMG and sold simultaneously.

The SLC (codenamed C190) will occur in 2015 or 2016 and will come across the Porsche 911. As we see from the spy photos, it will not have the gullwing doors of big brother since they have been replaced by conventional, but had long hood, spoiler and twin tailpipes.

Will be built on the shorter form of the aluminum chassis and SLS will weigh 150 kilos less than the SLS. Machines will be equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine performance 485 horsepower.

The Mercedes-Benz will then offer a version with 550 horses and the Black Series with 585 horses. It is only available as a coupe with the move to sent to the rear wheels, with original price close to 109,000 EUR.
