Mercedes will launch the 2010 Mercedes SLC Coupe (codenamed C197) at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and Mercedes roadster (R197) in the following year. It will be badged an AMG, not as a Mercedes.

The Mercedes SLC 2010 coupe and roadster will cost around the same as a well-equipped Porsche 911 Turbo – the target is €150,000 (£105,000) – and in size they are closer to the Mercedes SLR than the SL.

The wheels are 19-inch in the front and 20-inch in the back.

It will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3,8 seconds and will hit a top speed of 185 mph. Such a impressive speed, we would looking forward to the launch of Mercedes SLC 2010…
