Winding Road is reporting that Mercedes is in the works to create a sports car that will directly compete against the Porsche 911 and the new R8 from Audi. They are reporting that it would be named the SLC, as it will be based on the next-gen SL, but what the C stands for is a mystery. I don’t really know what to think about this news, as I thought the new SL would have been put up to the task to compete against the Porsches, and the M10 (baby SLR) was to compete against the R8, Gallardo. Who knows maybe the rumored M10 is now the SLC.

I don’t know, maybe our Insider can help us out here.
