Mercedes-Benz SLC
Last chance to get a compact SLC roadster, as it will retire after 2020. Under the hood lurks a 241-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine or, in the sporty AMG SLC 43 variant, a 385-horsepower twin-turbo V6. A glass panel is integrated in the power-folding hard top, which can become transparent or tinted at the touch of a button. In the SLC, we can choose between ARTICO simulated leather, genuine leather as well as monochrome or two-tone Nappa leather upholstery.
