Posted by bensto in Mercedes-Benz on 04 5th, 2008
Germany Automaker Mercedes Benz will be ending production of its SLR McLaren Roadster later next year to make room for its future SLC supercar. We now have more info on the car from the good folks at AutoCar who state that the upcoming SL65 Black Series will share main components with the SLC.
This supercar will certainly be developed my AMG who is planning on using the same axels on the SLC that they will use on the SL65 Black Series. Though, unlike the Black Series SL, the SLC will use an aluminum space frame in order to eliminate weight and added the strength of the car. Also see major use of carbon fiber as Mercedes moves to building an alloy car for the first time.
The two will also share AMG’s 6.2L V8 engine developing well over 600-hp. Transmission for both cars is expected to come from the recently launched SL63 AMG with a 7-speed MCT gearbox. AutoCar says that there is also a possibility of a BMW M-style electronic differential.
To boost aerodynamics, the SLC and the Black Series SL65 will feature a pop-up spoiler that will rise at speeds above 60mph.
