Mercedes SLC – SLK Facelift Prototype R172 Spied – Video

A new member will join the SLC lineup as we know for sure Mercedes is cooking up a 450 AMG Sport version as seen in a batch of spy images we published a few months ago. That one will bridge the gap between the lesser versions and the fully-fledged AMG model and will do that thanks to a twin-turbo V6 3.0-liter engine. It will likely have the same 367 PS (270 kW) and 517 Nm (382 lb-ft) output as seen in the C450 AMG Sport.

 
As for the flagship version, it will lose its naturally aspirated V8 5.5-liter motor to make room for the same twin-turbo V6. It will obviously have more power than in the SLC 450 AMG Sport, but it won’t exceed the 421 PS (310 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) output of the outgoing SLK 55 AMG.
