The 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC Final Edition gets a special yellow paint scheme along with black and grey colour options. The original SLK was originally launched in the black shade, and the final edition replicates the same. The SLC Final Edition is based on the AMG Line version and gets redesigned bumpers, and new 18-inch AMG five-spoke alloy wheels.
The door handles, mirror caps, and rear brace are all finished in high-gloss black. The AMG Line also lowers the suspension by 10 mm, while braking performance is improved thanks to the new perforated discs.
On the inside, the cabin gets the special treatment comprising black and silver leather upholstery with carbon-fibre finishes and ‘Final Edition’ badges on the fenders and the floor mats. The car also gets memory seats and Airscarf function as standard with the latter keeping the driver and passenger’s necks warm.
The Mercedes-Benz SLC Final Edition will be powered by petrol engines ranging between 1.6-litre four-cylinder to the 3.0-litre V6. The latter will be available on the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43. the resultant power output will vary between 154 bhp and 383 bhp on the AMG version.
The SLC 180 and 200 will be available with the 6-speed manual transmission internationally, while the SLC 300 and the SLC 43 will be offered with the 9-speed automatic gearbox. The convertible can sprint from 0-100 kmph in 4.7 seconds while attaining a top speed of about 250 kmph.
The SLK and thereafter the SLC has also been on sale in India for years now. The current model on sale in India is the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 that draws power from the V6 motor with 364 bhp on tap.
Mercedes-Benz India is expected to bring the Final Edition here, possibly by the end of 2019 or early next year.
