Yes, of course, the biggest news of this SLK-successor lurks under the hood of the AMG variant.
Yesterday night the SLC to the web after an absent-minded employee a few ongecamoufleerde copies just in sight parked had (shame on Mercedes-worker, not to do so again), and today the sheets completely pulled. In addition to an update to the familiesmoeltje and a new name, Mercedes’ smallest convertible three engines, all benzinegestookt.
Engines
In this third generation SLK, which according to Mercedes’ new naamstrategie now SLC is called (the relationship between positioning in the range of the C-Klase, underline) you can choose from two viercilinders: the SLC 180-entry-level model with a 1.6 ” you and 156 hp and SLC 200 with 2.0 and 184 hp. People who want more is the introduction to the AMG designated: unfortunately does Mercedes-AMG is not as crazy as the previous generation – where in the SLK 55 AMG just a wail of an atmospheric 5.5 litre V8 was spooned, but get the AMG now has a 3.0 V6 biturbo with 367 hp and 520 Nm, good for 0-100 in 4,7 and a top of 250 km/h.
With larger models, this is called AMG Sport, at the SLC ’43 AMG’, in which the few rare owners of a C43 AMG is undoubtedly as a desecration of the name: the old C-Class has a 4.3-liter V8 24-valve (but also “only” 305 hp). Times are changing.
As well as the AMG 4-pitters is also the six-cylinder engine out of the ‘one man, one AMG ” strategy, in which 1 person is responsible for your engine (and you have a name plate on your engine), they just do that with the V8 and V12. Heck, this V6 is not even in Affalterbach created, he will only be the predicate of an ‘engineered in Affalterbach‘. Not that you are with 367 hp in a light Roadster well, one thing are, incidentally, certainly is not.
Sperdiff and 9-speed
Luckily mercedes is still a achterassperdifferentieel on the list of options of the SLC 43, for which a tribute. Weights are sadly not communicated, which we hear later. As well as the price by the way, this is mid-2016 communicated.
All models get a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission, except for the standard manual zesbak delivered SLC180, here you have the automatic transmission checked.
The SLC 300 (where the entire photoset dedicated to them) and SLC 250d in the introduction is not available in the Netherlands.
