http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... 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.

knowing the s klasse, cl, sl, and slr we all know theyll make this beautiful somehow. it will probably be the first mercedes ever made to be light (based on the price, power, and just by looking at it). it apparently uses the m156 spitfire powerhouse which is used in 63 amg models and sounds really f**king good. it simply blows the shit out of the gt-r gentle breeze, truely one of the best driving experiences there will ever be. i know what i want for christmas!

Mercedes was tired of losing money on chrysler so they sold the company.

mercedes and crysler are basically the same company, and dodge is a branch so it could easily be a viper

Check what happened to that car after they removed the body and used their own. It's a Mercedes. Just like Ferrari is testing their new Enzo under the F430 Mercedes is using Viper body parts from when they were partners to cover their development. And it sounds V8 not V10 listen to it!!!!!!!
