What you see before you is not the body of the new SLC AMG. The body is a hacked and butchered Dodge Viper variation. It is what is underneath those awkward looking black body panels that has the news media talking. The heart and sole of the next gullwing door Mercedes is using this body camo to hide its new AMG tuned 6.2 liter V8. The motor is rumored to be available in two versions, a naturally aspirated version and a twin turbo variant making around 700 horsepower. With numbers like that, who really cares what the exterior looks like? I’ll take one in the butchered viper suit! The undercover SLC AMG will actually be based on the next generation Mercedes SL, and judging from recent spy shots from the famous Nurburgring this next generation supercar will certainly display the Mercedes emblem well.
