SNEAK PEEK - MERCEDES GULLWING



Not content to sit on the sidelines while the world watches Ferrari, RUF, and others debut their new supercars, Mercedes-Benz release a full, 35 picture gallery of hi-res "spy" photos of their upcoming SLC/SLS "gullwing" supercar. The SLR McLaren successor promises to be just as fast as the outgoing SLR, addressing that car's weight issues and being more "true" to Mercedes' heritage.

RENNTECH will have tuning upgrades available at the time of launch. Contact RENNTECH for more information.

MORE SPY PICS - SLC GULLWING



The recently mis-named Autoweek website recently posted new spy photos of Mercedes-Benz' upcoming SLC gullwing revival, which is set to become the company's successor to the SLR McLaren.

We are big fans of the SLR, and these latest images show some very SLR-like taillamps and rear fenders ... all good things.

CLICK HERE for the original gallery, and expect to see the finished car at Geneva in March.

NEW SLC SPY SHOTS



From WorldCarFans, CLICK HERE for original article.


About a year after the first sightings of the C197 (a hastily-built machine that looked for all the world like a Dodge Viper mule) the spy guys at WCF have spotted what looks to be a real, dedicated C197 chassis. The upcoming car has been referred to as the new Gullwing, but expected to carry and "SLC" label.

Expect to see "AMG" or "HWA" on the car as well, with a "RENNTECH" version following shortly thereafter.

MB GULLWING SPY PHOTOS



--- from eMercedesBenz, CLICK HERE for the original article and photo gallery.


There have been rumors circulating for some time now that Mercedes-Benz is in the process of resurrecting the legendary Gullwing, but up until now, photographic evidence has revealed little about the model. Today, however, that's all about to change, as we have some incredible shots showcasing the model from a number of different angles. To my knowledge, it's the fist time the new Gullwing doors have been caught on camera.

Aside from the photos, facts about the Mercedes SLC remain scarce. Most speculate the model will be priced above the next SL range but well below the current SLR (somewhere in the neighborhood of $200,000), with power expected to come from AMG's 6.3-Liter V8 boasting an enhanced output of around 600 horsepower.

At this point, however, it's still anyone's guess what the final specifications will be.
