More Benz spy pix! Mercedes latest supercar
Here are the latest spy shots of the new Mercedes SLC, the latest supercoupe from Mercedes-Benz and AMG. Sources say the car might be shown at next year’s Frankfurt show perhaps as a concept, though Mercedes won’t confirm.
The car is being developed by Mercedes’ AMG performance unit. The production SLC isn’t expected before late 2010.
Powertrain speculation centers on a naturally aspirated V8 with a displacement in the range of 6.2 liters and output in the neighborhood of 600 hp. Word is the chassis will be all new, not based on any existing Mercedes, and the body will be all aluminum.
The prototype sports big wheels and a massive brake rotor and caliper combination we’ll likely see make it to the road-going version.
