2010 MB SLC Gullwing SWEET

[JBrady]

In keeping with the open mind of our excellent forum. Here is a new Benz that is due as a 2010 model.

This SLC Gullwing is rumored to be the last of the TT V12 as well.

MB is replacing the current NA V8 and TT V12 with a 5 liter TT V8 in both 570hp and 700hp versions.

What can I say except... " I WANT ONE!!!"

Anyway, here is a tidbit.

Beautiful car. Front head light look like Porsche style. However, I still would love to have one.

looks like an alfa 8c had an affair with the new ferrari california

I like it.

There are a zillion styling cues from the original Gullwing.

The original was a pretty terrible car to drive form all reports.

The likes of Stirling Moss and his drive in the Mille Miglia just says he is superhuman.

I beleive Stirling described it as the world's fastest truck to drive. A quote also attached to Blower Bentley's from the Le Mans era.

I'll bet the guy who penned the Aston (and Jag and Masareti) had a hand in the styling team...does look sweet

Justen,

I disagree.

The lines are 1955 SLR with modern touches.

For sure a modern retro theme but that's what i'm seeing....the grill opening is a dead ringer for his signature
