GET AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE GULLWING: http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... that we've seen the doors in action, we're comfortable calling this new coupe the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLC Gullwing. It's not likely to carry such a clumsy name into production, but it might as well, because the doors are the story here.An obvious homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL produced from 1955-'63 (just 1,400 gullwing coupes were built), this new coupe will combine unique styling with supercar performance. We've seen these prototypes of the SLC Gullwing before on the Nürburgring, but now we've got some even more revealing footage from Death Valley.Most of the more ridiculous camouflage is gone, revealing a still-bulbous nose but more shapely bodywork further back. It's pretty clear that the defining feature of this car will be its gullwing doors, although up until this point we hadn't yet seen them in action. Some clever camouflage around the B-pillar disguises the rear window line, which actually slopes down far more aggressively into the short trunk section.Although the upcoming Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series will use a twin-turbo V12, the SLC will most likely get a turbocharged V8 with similar horsepower. A fortified version of Mercedes' new MCT seven-speed automatic is the most likely transmission.With production of the SL65 AMG Black Series still several months off, the introduction of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLC is still at least a year away. This puts its start of production sometime in 2010. That should be soon enough to fill the gap left by the soon-to-be-departed SLR, yet far enough out to let any bad taste left by the failed McLaren/Mercedes collaboration fade away.

when I say "based" I mean body style, and by body style I mean, for example; what mercedes did to the pacifica and named it the R-class and "MOTORTREND" even said it in july's issue, look it up

Just because they said it is "based" what does that mean? How should you know if it is true, and what if they wanted to compete with cars such as the viper.

No, Mercedes-Benz is the best in the world period. Sure they had a low time but still, they are the best.

the corvette has been the cornerstone american supercar for many generation, being one of the first production cars to reach 200 mph. the z06 and the new zr1 are much better than any foriegn supercar you can buy. the corvette beats most foriegn imports in both price and performance.

Hell yeah, and the list goes on, America invented the steam train, sex on the beach, the wheel etc etc lol

America invented everything, including French fries, Chinese medicine, German Hamburgers and it's the most environmentally-friendly and least-hostile country in the world, with the best cars. Especially Fords, very reliable ;)

I read the whole discussion you have going on here. Claiming all that shit man, I gotta say it's funny. Because, of course, if you were being serious then you would look like a complete imbecile with the knowledge of the world that I'd expect from a turd.But that's not the point here, it's sad that all the other people here don't get your humor. I do, I'm sure others do too. Hang in there. Add a little ":p" sign here and there just so people know your messing around and not being a retard. ;)

racist bastard.how dare you challenge the Mercedes and Benz name.Karl Benz,Mr. Daimler never 'stole' American car blueprints for their purpose.SO.next time your in a Mercedes Benz,Like I was in a Black 1997 E420 Yesterday,look on the other side of the seatbelt, and notice how it says "MADE IN GERMANY",among other various parts of the car.
