Car Magazine has revealed some interesting and super cool details on the Mercedes-Benz Gullwing SLC. As you can see on these spy shots, taken at a test track, the Gullwing SLC will as the name suggests have its wing doors, which is a tribute to the original 1950’s Gullwing. We might be able to see a prototype of the SLC as early as autumn of 2009, but it won’t be officially announced until 2010 at the Geneva auto show. One of the most interesting rumors about the car, is the fact that it won’t have a Mercedes star anywhere on the car, but will instead only wear a AMG badge – didn’t see that one coming.

The price of the SLC is said to be at around 150,000 Euro, which when compared to the SLR is pretty cheap. The weight of vehicle will be around 1650kg, which is lighter than the SLR and 235kg less than the SL55. It will be powered by the AMG tuned 6.3 liter V8 and produce and output of 571hp, which should propel the SLC from 0-60mph in 3.8 sec with a top speed of 197mph.
