2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC Scottsdale AZ
The SLC is a visionary roadster with roots that go back to the 1970s when Mercedes-Benz first introduced the SLC name. After almost twenty years later, the SLC was discontinued, but reborn again as the Mercedes-Benz SLK in 1996. Another twenty years slips by and the proud SLK is celebrating its birthday by re-establishing its dominance as the Mercedes-Benz SLC. The new design and state-of-the-art technology make it a hot commodity for Mercedes-Benz collectors and driving enthusiasts everywhere.

The SLC is available in two variants. The SLC300 and the Mercedes-AMG SLC43 mark the premiere of the SLC of the 21st century. In the SCL300, a 2.0-liter bitrubo 4-cylinder engine pushes 241 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. This admirably powerful and efficient engine accelerates the SLC from 0 to 60 in just 5.7 seconds. Impressive as that may be, the SLC43 AMG uses a handcrafted 3.0-liter biturbo V6. With this secret weapon, 362 horsepower come out of the woodwork like magic, topped only by the 384 lb.-ft. of torque. This deadly combination lowers the 0 to 60 time to 4.6 seconds. For the icing on the cake, both SLC trims come standard with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Performance
The SLC roadster is made to dominate the asphalt and make drivers smile without the need for excessive power or expensive price tags. With a perfectly balanced powertrain, the SLC300 tops out at 130 MPH while the SLC43 AMG can keep going until it hits a limited 155 MPH.
Engine Options
There are two options currently available for the SLC, which are a 2.0-liter biturbo and a 3.0-liter biturbo. In the future, it is likely that we will see an SLC45 AMG with a more powerful V6 or even a monstrous V8 engine.

2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC Options and Features
Just in time for its 20th birthday, the SLK chassis gets a body redesign that really shows off its muscle without losing touch with the historic Mercedes-Benz culture that set the SLC in motion in the first place. The upgrades do not end with a redesign, however. The SLC now also features a slew of new aluminum trim pieces that come with a carbon fiber finish. The instrument cluster in the dashboard has also been redesigned for maximum comfort and convenience, complete with a new sport steering wheel.
The 2017 SLC passes another milestone with advanced driver-assistance features and wide range of DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes. The SLC now comes standard with premium technologies such as Active Brake Assist, DYNAMIC SELECT, and for the grand finale, a 9G-Tronic 9-speed transmission. This transmission has also been adopted by the GLC, but is unheard of anywhere else in the industry. As available options, SLC owners can also enjoy MAGIC SKY CONTROL, COMAND Infotainment, ambient lighting, and Mercedes-Benz AIRSCARF.
