Spy Shots: Mercedes-Benz SLC gullwing supercar raises its door
Filed under: Spy Photos, Supercars, Mercedes-Benz
The facts surrounding the forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC supercar are scarce, but one thing’s for sure: gull-wing doors are part of the package. So far, we’ve only seen spy shots of the SLC wearing body panels pilfered from other M-B products, along with one Viper-clad mule. But these newest images procured by eMercedesBenz not only give us a glimpse of the gull-winged homage, but also provide us with some idea of the proportions of the new supercar.
Previous reports suggest that underneath the elongated aluminum hood lays a turbocharged version of AMG’s 6.3-liter V8, putting out around 600 hp and an unruly amount of torque. The cab-backwards stance, short rear overhangs and makeshift spoiler all hint at the Merc’s pavement punishing potential, and the raised driver’s side door — still far from complete — appears to remain true to the original 300SL.
