Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 Imported to India for Homologation

According to the information we have received the imported Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 is a Right-Hand-Drive (RHD) unit and packs 2996cc engine under the hood. This means it will the 3.0-litre, V6 Bi-Turbo engine that makes 362bhp at 5,500-6,000 rpm and 520Nm of peak torque at 2,000-4,200 rpm. The transmission duties in this particular model will be taken care of by the company's tried and tested 9G-TRONIC automatic gearbox. All this translates into a top speed of 250 km/h and a 0-100 km/h sprint in under 5-seconds. That said, this model is less powerful than the outgoing SLK 55 AMG.

Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 Interior

Coming to the car itself, the new SLC roadster shoulders the responsibility of filling in for the Mercedes SLK roadster, which was one of the best luxury convertibles in the market. In terms of design, the car shares some of its cues with the SLK but a few things have been tweaked to make it look more stylish and contemporary. The front fascia looks new and comes with the Mercedes' popular diamond pattern grill that we first saw in the A-Class, along with sporty front bumper, larger air intakes, new headlamps with LED DRLs, and a sculpted bonnet.

On feature front the new Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 comes with a host of offerings like - 7-inch infotainment screen, Bluetooth, AUX-IN, USB connectivity with the read function for text messages and audio streaming, a voice-operated control system for audio, phone, navigation, music search and Mercedes-Benz App. The car gets a revised instrument cluster, features updated upholstery, revised cabin trim and there are some subtle changes made like a new sports steering wheel as well.
