Report: Mercedes-Benz SLC to arrive mid-2015

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Mercedes-Benz

Although we’re still not entirely sure what Mercedes is planning to call its new sub-SLS coupe, more potential information about the car is starting to come to light. After Mercedes released official “spy shots” (shown above) back in June, Auto Express is saying that we might have to wait until 2015 to see this production version on the road.

Potential names for the car include SLC and the return of the SLR name, but regardless of what it will be called, this car is aimed squarely at the Porsche 911. Previously, we heard the new Mercedes could start under $100,000, but this report says that the new coupe will carry a base price of around $122,000, while a Black Series model could go for around $180,000 (both prices converted from British pounds). In any case, seems it’ll be a few more years before we actually know for sure.

Now here’s a question worth racking your precious brain over. If you were asked to choose between the recently unveiled De Tomaso SLC Concept and a BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo, which would you park in your driveway? If you chose a used Audi RS6 Avant, congratulations, you just made our holiday card list.

Still, it’s difficult not to draw comparisons between the recently unveiled De Tomaso and the awkwardly-proportioned 5-Series family hauler. Both vehicles have managed to meld the crossover and sedan realms in a way that few other vehicles have.

While we’ve already been privy to a few photos of the De Tomaso SLC Concept, a video of the vehicle has now made its way to the internets. The quick clip gives us a slightly better look at what the vehicle will bring to the table when it gets an official unveil early next month at the Geneva Motor Show. Here’s hoping it looks better in the flesh. Hit the jump to have a look-see of your very own.

Spy Shots: De Tomaso readying SLC for Geneva?

We’ve heard the rumors, and now we have a small series of spy photos that seem to corroborate the hearsay. Looks like De Tomaso is indeed readying at least one concept car to show off at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

We can’t say for certain that the machine seen in these photos is the BMW X6-like crossover that has been talked about – in fact, it looks more sedan or wagon-like, but at least it appears to be proof that something is in the works. Current conjecture has this car will be called SLC.

Whatever the case, we can clearly see De Tomaso’s new logo, along with some sensuous, flowing curves that piques our curiousity. See for yourself in our image gallery below.
