Mercedes SLC Spy Shots
While Mercedes has released a handful of official “spy-photos” of the upcoming SLC sportscar – previously known as the “baby SLS” – last week, these are now the first real spy-photos, shot at Mercedes’ Nürburgring test base.

Reportedly codenamed the C190, the prototype is heavily camouflaged but appears to be heavily influenced by the SLS supercar. Notable styling highlights include a long hood, conventional doors and a sporty rear end with a dual exhaust system.

Engine options remain unconfirmed but previous reports have indicated the model could be powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 that develops approximately 485 hp. There have also been rumours about a range-topping Black Series variant which could produce as much as 585 hp. The sports car is expected to be launched in 2015 and cost roughly 110.000 Euros.
