Rumor has it ever more insistent, Mercedes is working on building a new coupe with a sporty character accentuated called SLC, which will be placed one step below the exclusive SLS AMG "Gullwing". The purpose of Mercedes-Benz is to exploit Following the enormous success of the SLS creating an unprecedented sports in opposition to the next generation of the Porsche 911, but also in cars including Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Jaguar XK8.
The new sport of the Star of House would have to measure about 4 feet and use a 5.5-liter V8 engine in naturally aspirated form, capable of delivering a maximum power of 420 hp and a torque of 600 Nm, almost, in line with the values direct competitors. Like her older sister SLS, the project should be developed directly from the AMG sports department, specializes in developing high performance cars.
This decision would explain the new orientation of the Teutonic Constructor to two distinct lines of Mercedes sports cars: the first is in fact characterized by sports coupe and roadster but mostly voted for comfort (such as the CL coupe and roadster SL), while the second line - directly signed by AMG - would cover the segment of most sports performance, inaugurated by the SLS.
For the realization of starvation coupe, Mercedes could use a lightweight aluminum frame combined with modern carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), capable of giving the car a very low weight combined with a high torsional rigidity, which would the benefit of stability and driving precision sport.
The search for performance but will not prevent the sharing of certain components with other vehicles of the Group, so as to reduce production costs. As demonstrated by the forklift glimpsed on the streets of Europe, testing of the new SLC go on waiting for the launch of the new model set for 2014 which should be followed - as is happening for the SLS - the debut of a variation in the roadster within two years.
