First Time on the Ring: Mercedes SLC

Mercedes SLC feat
While Mercedes has released a handful of official “spy-photos” of the upcoming SLC sportscar – previously known as the “baby SLS” – some weeks ago, these are now the first spy-photos showing the sportscar racing down the Nürburgring.

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 rumors 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.
