The German Mercedes SLC is a luxury coupe
produced by the German car manufacturer between 1971 and the early 1980’s. Its
development was based upon the earlier launched Roadster model and was
characterized by a harmonious and elegant design. The 450 SLC was equipped with
a 4520 cm3 V8 engine capable of 225 HP. This high performance was successfully
combined with refined styling and the ‘Premium’ quality furnishings selected
for the vehicle interior that reinforced the SLC luxury branding in the
marketplace. The vehicle was further adapted from the mainstream consumer model
to the production of a sports version for car rallying competitions. The
chassis was the same, but the rally version introduced a roll-bar, competition
rims and aluminum parts and components to reduce the overall weight. All these
factors contributed to increased performance and rallying successes such as the
Mintex Rally victory in 1978.
