    Default Mercedes-Benz SLC: Its a Mini SLS designed to compete with Porsche 911

    Mercedes-Benz is reportedly working on a mini SLS called the Mercedes-Benz SLC to compete with the Porsche 911.



    Mercedes-Benz Has confirmed that the new V8-powered two-seater has been granted an official codename — traditionally the first step towards intensive development and a production future. Mercedes-Benz SLC is scheduled for launch in 2014 and has a projected price of £75,000. The evocatively styled two-door has been conceived in a joint exercise between Mercedes-Benz’s regular passenger car department and its performance car division, AMG.

    Ben's spot on. My Pappy is getting an SLS in Taiwan this week and he's only 5'11 and it was a pretty cozy fit...maybe MB got too generous on the bonnet

    I guess this would be sized like an SLK with gullwing doors? maybe slightly bigger?
