Mercedes Slc

Take the rear of the Viper and add to it a threatening front, and what do you get? An attractive coupé, potentially enchanting, with an immortal inheritance. An oxymoron? Definitely.

A few days from the appearance of the “cousin” Sl Black Series, Mercedes is showing it hasn’t abandoned the Slc project (or for the nostalgic the Gullwing), following some road tests with the unusual bodywork.

Unfortunately additional information regarding this racing car, developed in collaboration with HWA, contains only a few exaggerated mutterings: the engine, for example, could be a re-inforced version of the V8 6.3, or the V12 6.0 which has been much talked about recently. The only certainty is the base - measuring 2.69 metres, exactly the length of the Slr. It’s impossible to think of it only as a coincidence.
