Benz Faqs

Spies have caught another glimpse of Mercedes’ new SLC Gullwing supercar. However, instead of getting another look of the exterior they managed to do the impossible - they captured pictures of the interior of the car. The shots may not be high quality - but at least we won’t be too surprised when it is released. Don’t worry though we’ll act surprised!

The pictures shows off the dash and the console. The COMMAND knob is connected to the steering wheel similar to that on the AMG SL63. It has a flat botton, directional buttons, and three spokes. The HVAC controls and the switch for the headlights are also what we are used to and classic for a Mercedes-Benz.

Volker Morphine - the head honcho for AMG - understands that building supercars without contemplating their worth in the ever decreasing economy would be a foolish thing to do. To many consumers are worried about the fuel emissions and the poor stance of the economy. Because of this they are forced to re-think a few details and to contemplate bringing in the heavy artillery.

Hybrids and diesels are becoming quite attractive to many consumers and AMG has taken notice of this. A more recent interview with CAR revealed the idea of equipping a twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter oil burning V6 engine into the C-Class. Mornhunweg hinted that AMG might push one of these type of cars into production.

Mercedes is proud of their new SL65 AMG Black Edition - which is said to be the most powerful car that they have produced under the AMG name. The car has been equipped with a Bi-Turbo 6.0 V12 engine that can be pushed to 670 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque.

This engine gives it the ability to reach a top speed of 199 mph and can push it from 0-62 in only 3.9 seconds.

It also comes equipped with a high performance brake system and a sports tuned suspension. The suspension allows for the tuning of ride height and several other features of the suspension.
