Mercedes-Benz SLC
Blessed with classic roadster proportions including a long hood and short trunk, the compact SLC comes standard with a 241-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine or, optionally, a twin-turbo V6 producing 362 horsepower. Each one is mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox and a drive mode selector ranging from ECO to Sport+. A sport suspension with available adaptive damping improves the ride, while the power retractable hard top folds away in about 20 seconds.
