Various names have been thrown around for
this ultra-exotic supercoupe, but for now
we're calling it the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLC
AMG. It will replace the McLaren-built SLR
coupe and roadster in the Mercedes-Benz
lineup. Whether it will carry the Mercedes
name or arrive badged purely as an AMG only
is still unclear.
Since McLaren and Mercedes have parted ways,
most of the development work on the SLC is
being done by AMG with additional help from
HWA, a racing company established by Hans
Werner Aufrecht (HWA), one of the founding
partners in AMG.
HWA will most likely concentrate on the body
and suspension, while AMG builds the engine.
Although the upcoming Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Black Series — another AMG project with HWA
input — will use a twin-turbo V12, the SLC
will most likely get a turbocharged V8 with
similar horsepower.
Given that the V12 in the SL65 Black Series
produces 670 horsepower, figure around 700 hp
at least for the SLC. A fortified version of
Mercedes' new MCT seven-speed automatic is
the most likely transmission.
Viper bodywork is being used to keep the size
and styling of the SLC under wraps. It's an
effective tool, although it can't hide the
car's long wheelbase and ultra-wide stance.
According to Car magazine (which claims to
have seen documents with the SLC's
measurements), the wheelbase stands at 106.3
inches while the overall length is 183
inches. In comparison, the latest SL63 AMG
has a 100.8-inch wheelbase and is 181.3
inches long. At 76.8 inches across, the SLC
is also more than 5 inches wider than a
standard SL.
With production of the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Black Series still several months off, the
introduction of the SLC is still at least a
year away. This puts its start of production
sometime in 2010. That should be soon enough
to fill the gap left by the
soon-to-be-departed SLR, yet far enough out
to let any bad taste left by the failed
McLaren/Mercedes collaboration fade away.
Expect no such drama from AMG — and a
better overall car.
