This is really special as it is not very often that we get such wonderful spy shots of a grand car that is yet to be unveiled in front of the world. The new Supercar that Mercedes is all set to launch very soon and its distinct Gullwing doors have been captured on camera in Germany and this gives us a very early and clear look at what the automobile giant has in store for us.
Revealing its Gullwing doors for the first time on camera, the SLC is Mercedes-Benz’ new supercar that will be officially revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009 with sales set to start the following year. The SLC, which is designed to revoke memories of Mercedes’ iconic 300 SL, will be powered by a front mounted 6.2-liter V8 engine from AMG delivering around 580 HP. The pictures give you the image of a supercar in the making that is truly going to be hot once the covers are finally off.
Expected to weigh in at about 1,650 kg, the SLC is said to achieve a zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of around 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h or 196 mph. It is the new doors and the uniquely special look of the car that will surely steal the show come the big day. Moreover you can expect nothing short of world class design and comfort when it comes to the interiors as well. Can’t wait for the grand release!

if this car is overpriced and overweight like the SLR it’ll be a flop. Follow Audi and build a more light weight sports car like R8.Some Audi parts can be seen at Autopartswarehouse.
it is hard to see the lines through the cover, but it doesn’t look too appealing to the eye.
