The SLC has been caught testing before, specifically hot weather testing in the Californian Death Valley and what you see here are images of the SLC Mule during winter testing.



If you’re thinking that it looks like a Dodge Viper, well, don’t be fooled, it is only a camouflage, the top of the line Mercedes AMG will have a longer wheelbase and just like the SLR a classic long bonnet and also like the SLR, a short rear deck which gives it sports car proportions.



It is reported to be the natural successor to the legendary 1950’s 300SL and is expected to be powered by a 620hp V8 unit with the power channeled to the rear wheels.



It is expected to debut in 2010 and is also expected to be built at Mercedes’ Sindelfingen plant in Germany.

its a very long front bonnet. seriously, it looks awkward.

i tot the longest would be just the SLR, and no doubt - if they bother to just stick to this one - this will be the longest.

and very short bottom. its like...funny.

I m wondering whether are they still gonna opt for a petrol engine or move on to diesel or biofuel. Long bonnet = huge engine = huge power :D
