Mercedes Benz SLC final edition unveiled

Mercedes Benz SLC final edition unveiled. Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a special edition of its smallest roadster, the SLC.

Is this the end for Clarkson’s favourite hairdresser car? The Final Edition SLC is the last hoorah to the current generation SLC. The SLK, as the SLC range was formally launched in 1996.

With the launch of SLK, Mercedes-Benz produced a roadster whose fixed vario-roof redefined the roadster segment by combining open-air driving pleasure with uncompromised comfort in poor weather – that had never been available before or at least that’s what they say.

The SLK was a success even former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson owned one, a 2005 SLK AMG 55. The SLK was launched in Yellowstone, yellow. The car will now be exclusively offered on the SLC Final Edition.

You can have your Final Edition in either SLC 180, SLC 200, SLC 300 and the powerful SLC AMG 43.
