The design of the new SLC works like an amplifier on the synapses and sense of sight. Long nose, short overhangs – the silhouette is muscular and sensationally dynamic when open and closed. Joie de vivre right down the line, starting with a distinctive front with a diamond radiator grille and chrome wing, brilliantly brought to a conclusion by an expressive tail end. 3 4 Powertraining. When driving, the new SLC delivers what its design promises: performance par excellence. Sporty to the max, fuel-efficient or comfortable? Everything goes. Five drive programs are available to choose from via the DYNAMIC SELECT Switch. For every mood, for every route. 5 6 7 Love hertz. A noise becomes a feeling. Listening becomes experiencing. The rich sound of the new sports exhaust system alone is reason enough to open the roof of the SLC. Each drive program has its own soundtrack: emotively appealing and intense, from powerful roaring through to a deep timbre. 8 Anyone taking a seat in the new SLC immediately shoots to the top. Agility and comfort come together to form an unbeatable team and positively demand you to drive with the top down. After all, the dynamic interior design deserves to be shown. Be it the restyled sports seats or the sports steering wheel with its perforated grip area. Particularly impressively showcased by the ambient lighting, which strikes the right tone of your mood if you wish. Comfortissimo. 10 Applause from the eyes. 11 An unadulterated roadster driving experience with the comfort and suitability for everyday use of a Mercedes-Benz – only the new SLC offers that in this class. If the sun comes out, the fully power-retractable roof goes down at the press of a button – in less than 20 seconds. In the process the boot separator closes automatically on request for the first time: for even more uninterrupted comfort and cabriolet pleasure. 12 The spectacular final chord: the tail end of the new SLC. As muscular as never before. Even more distinctive due to the black diffuser, flanked by two integral chromed tailpipe trims. Accentuated by restyled tail lights in a slimmer shape. A look that leaves a resounding impression. 13 14 Open for storms of enthusiasm. 15 16 17 High-frequency intelligence. The sun disappears behind the buildings, the city shines in the light of the optional LED High Performance headlamps. The journey begins. The destination: spur of the moment. Thanks to latest-generation multimedia systems, 3D navigation, telephone and internet are just one touch away. Your window to the digital world: the 17.8 cm (7-inch) media display of the optional COMAND Online. A fine outlook indeed. 18 Sportiness for good vibrations on every road. 19 20 The finest connection between sky and street: the panoramic vario-roof. It offers a clear overhead view – for that al fresco feeling even when the roof is closed. On request also with MAGIC SKY CONTROL: at just one press of a button the tinted glass becomes transparent.

Welcome to a place of innovation: www.mercedes-benz.com/museum 31 What would Mercedes-Benz be without motorsport? 3 June 1934 marked the beginning of the Silver Arrows legend in the International Eifel Race at the Nürburgring. The Silver Arrows works team MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS continued this tradition in the 2014 Formula 1 season. Its successful involvement was crowned by the most impressive double victory of the season, with the team topping both the constructorsʼ and the driversʼ rankings. The teamʼs successes are not restricted to the race track, however. Every mile raced also advances the development of hybrid technology for series production. m FIND OUT MORE Fascinating Formula 1 goes multimedia: http://www.facebook.com/MercedesAMGF1 http://twitter.com/MERCEDESAMGF1 http://www.youtube.com/user/MERCEDESAMGPETRONAS http://plus.google.com/+Mercedesamgf1/posts http://instagram.com/MercedesAMGF1# http://www.MercedesAMGF1.com MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS F1 W06 hybrid, 2015 season. 32 SLC 300 The 4-cylinder petrol engine achieves 180 kW (245 hp) and delivers a maximum torque of 370 Nm. 400 250 370 Nm 180 kW 350 200 300 150 250 100 200 50 Nm kW rpm 2000 Engine speed rpm Torque in Nm Output in kW 4000 6000 33 The sound of power. The engines. Powerful. Fast. Superb. Yet very modest with it. Its engines lend the new SLC an inner strength that perfectly complements its captivating looks. The 4-cylinder petrol engines with a displacement of 1.6 and 2.0 l respectively, direct petrol injection, variable valve control and turbocharging are lively and powerful – whilst corresponding to the requirements of the Euro 6 emission class. The combination of the third-generation Mercedes-Benz high-pressure direct injection system with precise piezo injectors and the enhanced spray-guided combustion process facilitates virtually total combustion and thus allows the fuel to be used particularly efficiently. The variable valve control results in an optimum cylinder charge level which has a beneficial effect on fuel consumption and emissions, as do the lower weight and reduced internal friction. For impressive roadster driving enjoyment with no remorse. of a sports car, its meagre consumption and low CO2 output make the SLC 250 d one of the most frugal roadsters in the segment. This is made possible by a whole package of intelligent technologies. This fourth-generation commonrail diesel technology engine features an injection pressure increased to 2050 bar, optimised combustion chambers and precise solenoid injectors. High ignition pressure and two-stage turbocharging ensure an effortlessly superior torque curve. The state-of-the-art exhaust gas treatment concept BlueTEC reduces the nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90 percent. Unusual for a roadster – extraordinary for a diesel: the 4-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 150 kW (204 hp) and maximum torque of 500 Nm impresses even in the lower engine speed range. Despite having the performance For the rare moments when the new SLC stands still: both the diesel and petrol engines have the ECO start/stop function as standard. For yet more efficiency the ECO display supports a consumption-optimised driving style. The engine range Petrol: SLC 180 with 115 kW (156 hp) output and 250 Nm torque SLC 200 with 135 kW (184 hp) output and 300 Nm torque SLC 300 with 180 kW (245 hp) output and 370 Nm torque Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 with 270 kW (367 hp) output and 520 Nm torque Diesel: SLC 250 d with 150 kW (204 hp) output and 500 Nm torque The impressive top performer in the SLC engine line-up is the new 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine in the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43. An engine so powerful that it deserves its own chapter: find out more from page 56. m FIND OUT MORE From a minimal CO2 figure to the maximum output: you can find all the technical data on pages 66/67. 34 Driving desire. 9G-TRONIC and manual transmission. The new SLC stands for dynamic performance and agility at the highest level. Drivers who enjoy life in the fast lane also need to be able to shift gears quickly, manually or automatically. That’s why the power of individual engines is transferred through transmission systems harmonised with the character of each vehicle model. The 6-speed manual transmission’s hallmark features are ease of shifting and short, direct shift travel. Gear spacing and rear-axle ratio are optimally attuned to the engine output. A display with recommended gear changes on the instrument cluster further encourages a highly efficient driving style. The automatic transmission 9G-TRONIC is a milestone in the field of transmission technology: with nine forward gears, this automatic transmission combines efficiency, comfort and dynamics at an entirely new level. Even faster gear changes and smoother gear shifting make it an enticing proposition. At the same time, 9G-TRONIC helps to reduce fuel consumption. For powerful, fast, short bursts of speed the 9G-TRONIC can skip individual gears when changing down. Please see pages 66/67 for the available transmission/engine combinations. 35 DYNAMIC SELECT. One roadster, five powerful personalities. Motoring pleasure and sportiness are in the very nature of a roadster. With DYNAMIC SELECT the new SLC lives up to this promise in a highly targeted manner, without neglecting comfort or efficiency. In conjunction with the new 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission there are five drive programs available – to suit every mood and every road: Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual. For a consumption-oriented, comfortable or decidedly sporty driving style – and the soundtrack to match: from the authentic sports car sound to the subtle long-distance soundscape that lends itself to long journeys. With Individual you even have at your fingertips a drive program which you can configure yourself to a large extent. You change your drive program via the DYNAMIC SELECT Switch in the centre console. Depending on the setting selected there are model-specific changes to the engine, transmission, sound and steering characteristics. The drive program Sport, for example, offers high agility through adjusted steering support plus modified shift points. The drive program Sport Plus is even more rousing: the drive system and the Adaptive Damping System ADS available on request are configured for maximum dynamism. 36 A driving masterpiece. With its sporty tuning the suspension offers an astonishing symbiosis of agility and ride comfort as standard. For an even more sporty driving experience the Dynamic Handling package with the Adaptive Damping System ADS is available for selection. The chassis lowered by 10 mm, the Direct-Steer system and the ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist increase agility, ride comfort and directional stability. The damping system has the three basic settings Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus, which can be chosen via DYNAMIC SELECT. On each individual wheel the damping force is continuously and automatically adjusted to the current driving situation. Chassis and steering The optional 10 mm lower steel sports suspension facilitates dynamic driving through its tauter springing and damping configuration. The ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist ensures more stability and handling safety in particular when accelerating in bends. If the ESP® sensors register a tendency towards understeering, this can be reduced through a targeted brake actuation. The Direct-Steer system supplements the comfort of speed-sensitive power steering with a variable steering ratio dependent on the steering angle. This reduces the steering movements when parking and on winding roads leads to more agile vehicle reactions and to more directional stability when driving straight ahead. 37 The sound for the track. The sports exhaust system. The new SLC with a sportily tuned exhaust system enhances the roadster experience with a spectacular engine sound inside and out. This is made possible by the modified structure of the exhaust silencer system: via the integral exhaust gas flap the sound characteristics adapt to the drive program chosen via DYNAMIC SELECT. Every driving experience is thus given an optimum acoustic backdrop: powerfully increasing and rich when accelerating in the Sport Plus drive program, comfortably restrained during relaxed motoring. The sports exhaust system is installed as standard in the SLC 300 and it is part of the optional AMG Line and the Sports package for the SLC 200. 38 Plus vision. Minus dangers. Not only does the new-generation SLC look good – you also see better with it. Because the low-beam headlamps of the optional LED Intelligent Light System automatically adapt to the weather, lighting and driving conditions – for better vision on rural roads and motorways, when cornering and on bends. The clearly defined contours and high-­ quality detailing with a three-dimensional design ensure that the vehicle also has an unmistakable front view in the daytime too. At night, situation-based light distribution, the light colour similar to daylight and also less glare (compared with a xenon system) ensure maximum visual comfort. Nice gesture: when you unlock your SLC it welcomes you with an extraordinary light show. The optional Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus also proves very obliging: it makes it possible to drive with main beam constantly switched on whilst on unlit roads, without dazzling other road users. Failure to maintain an adequate distance from the vehicle in front is one of the main causes of serious accidents. The standard Active Brake Assist gives the driver a visual warning if the distance to the vehicle in front is too small. If the danger of a collision is detected an acoustic warning signal is emitted; thereafter, the system can support the driver’s braking action, and if the driver does not react, the vehicle speed can be autonomously reduced. the active brake assist The distance warning function of the Active Brake Assist is based on a flush-mounted sensor in the vehicle’s front end which continuously monitors the distance from the vehicle in front within a speed range from 7 to 250 km/h. Stationary vehicles can be registered in a speed range between 7 and around 70 km/h. 39 The reassuring feeling of driving a Mercedes-Benz. We are the first automotive manufacturer worldwide to have developed an integral safety concept, aimed at avoiding accidents, ensuring ideal responses to dangers and lessening the consequences of accidents. For the occupants of a Mercedes and for all other road users, too. Safe driving The ATTENTION ASSIST can monitor steering behaviour especially on long journeys and at night to detect typical signs of drowsiness and warn the driver of impending microsleep in good time. The integral brake system ADAPTIVE BRAKE improves braking performance through intelligent intervention: in wet conditions, the brake discs are kept dry. The brake pads are applied automatically when the driver’s foot is removed abruptly from the accelerator pedal. And on uphill gradients, the system is able to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. The optional Distance Pilot DISTRONIC automatically helps the driver to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and relieves driver strain on long journeys and when following vehicles in a tailback. The optional Blind Spot Assist with radar sensors makes one of the major hazards in traffic visible. When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, a red triangle lights up in the exterior mirror. An acoustic warning additionally sounds as necessary. The system is active at speeds between 30 and 250 km/h. The optional Lane Keeping Assist system is able to detect when the car is unintentionally drifting out of its lane at speeds between 60 and 200 km/h, duly warning the driver by means of vibrations on the steering wheel. Blind Spot Assist and Lane Keeping Assist also form part of the optional Lane Tracking package. In the event of danger The optionally available preventive PRE-SAFE® occupant protection system is able to identify critical driving situations in advance and to initiate precautionary measures to protect the car’s occupants if an accident appears imminent. Such measures include reversible belt tensioning or automatic closing of open side windows, for example. In an accident An extensive protection system can significantly reduce the risk of injury. This includes the active bonnet, which can automatically rise by six centimetres and thus helps to provide better protection for pedestrians or cyclists. The car occupants, meanwhile, can be supported over a wide area in accidents by up to six airbags. After an accident Every Mercedes-Benz is optimally trained in first aid. If the worst comes to the worst, the engine can be turned off automatically, the hazard warning lamps and emergency interior lighting can be activated, and the central locking can be unlocked. Finally the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system can send position data and important vehicle information, though it is to be hoped this will never be necessary. Over and above this Mercedes-Benz makes Guidelines for Rescue Services available on the internet at www.mercedes-benz.de/rettungsleitfaden for helpers to download all over the world in different languages. 40 41 We hope you enjoy the show. Conduct the entire world – easily done from your driver’s seat. Navigation, telephone, audio, video, internet – with the COMAND Online control and display system you are able to keep these and many other functions in view and under control. Information is shown in high resolution and in colour on a 17.8 cm (7-inch) media display. Operation is simple and intuitive. And should you want to hand over the baton now and then: you can use the fast hard-disc navigation with realistic topographic map display for stress-free route guidance. Multimedia and infotainment With COMAND Online a DVD player, radio and interfaces for connecting external devices provide entertainment made to measure. Further highlights: the voice-operated control system LINGUATRONIC, Bluetooth® interface with hands-free function, reading function for SMS and music reproduction via audio streaming. User-friendly navigation, precise map data and excellent route guidance – the Garmin® MAP PILOT brings all the familiar benefits of a Garmin® navigation system to the Audio 20 CD – including Live Traffic Information. 3D views plus photorealistic Cross-Traffic and Lane Assistant make orientation easier. With Smartphone Integration it is possible to integrate your iPhone® into the car via Apple CarPlay™ and operate it via voice control – certain functions can also be operated via the vehicle controls. This makes safe use possible while on the move. 42 Soft top operation when moving off The rain comes down. The comfort continues. Because, if upon moving off the opening or closing procedure of any of the roof variants of the new SLC’s vario-roof is initiated, the procedure can be completed at speeds of up to 40 km/h. This means that there are no waiting times for you or the traffic behind you. 43 Open for every comfort. Open-top driving in all seasons and almost all kinds of weather: the comfortable, intelligent solutions offered by the new SLC make it possible. For example, the optional AIRSCARF neck-level heating developed by Mercedes-Benz extends the open-air season by wrapping an invisible scarf around the shoulders and neck of the driver and passenger. The desired temperature can be adjusted in three levels. The optional AIRGUIDE draught-stop system minimises draughts and air stream noises when driving open-top – thus noticeably enhancing comfort. As it consists of two transparent pivoting elements, it does not restrict visibility towards the rear. These individually adjustable swivelling plastic panels are installed on the rear of the roll-over bars. There they deflect the flow of air so that significantly fewer draughts are generated around the head and neck areas of the passengers. A particularly comfortable innovation in the SLC is the partially automatic boot separator. When the vario-roof is closed this is in the upper position, in order to increase the boot capacity. If the roof is opened, it automatically moves down – manual closing is no longer necessary. The system operates safely: if there are obstacles or if there is a lack of space due to luggage the process is autonomously stopped and the driver is warned. 44 45 Ready for the most exciting open-air event of the year? The new-generation SLC combines the unequalled motoring enjoyment of a roadster with the day-to-day practicality and quiet-running qualities of a coupé. All it takes to open and close the electrohydraulically operated folding vario-roof in under 20 seconds is the press of a button. The only question that remains is which roof variant to choose. The optional panoramic vario-roof offers a virtually clear view of the sky even when closed – and makes the car’s interior seem lighter and roomier. In conjunction with MAGIC SKY CONTROL it provides an open-air feeling at the push of a button even with the roof closed. The glass roof changes its light and energy transmission capability instantaneously. In its tinted state, it substantially reduces heating-up of the vehicle interior. 46 47 Powerful. The AMG Line. The AMG Line emphasises the sportiness and enhances the exclusivity. Impressive features on the exterior include the distinctive AMG bodystyling and AMG 5-spoke light-alloy wheels. The larger, perforated front brake discs improve the car’s performance, while the tauter setting of the sports suspension improves its driving dynamics. In the interior the seats in a sporty design plus red seat belts and contrasting topstitching create a sporty ambience.

The Mercedes-AMG SLC 43. Mercedes-AMG is not just a manufacturer of performance vehicles and sports cars, AMG is a promise. The promise to give everything and always to go one step further. To this end we create extraordinary cars for extraordinary people. With the new Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 we are again underlining our claim to pull out all the stops – in every moment, every metre of the way. Allow yourself to be enthralled by effortlessly superior power delivery, extraordinary driving dynamics and the good looks and elegance of thoroughbred sports cars which, even at standstill, make it abundantly clear what they are made for: Driving Performance. With 270 kW (367 hp) and 520 Nm the 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine conquers the roads with impressive output, with the acoustic backdrop of the unique engine sound from the standard-fit AMG sports exhaust system. Welcome to the world of AMG. 57 58 DYNAMISM 59 Take possession of the road. The Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 promises unadulterated driving pleasure. The combination of an uprated drive unit offering instantaneous response, the AMG sports suspension and the high-precision, two-stage AMG speed-sensitive sports steering adds up to supremely dynamic performance. Options such as the optional AMG limited-slip rear-axle differential for improved traction in conjunction with the AMG Handling package underscore the claim to the use of cutting-edge racing-sport technology. The 9G-TRONIC transmission system also impresses with its choice of gentle or fast, sporty gear changes. Switch to the “Sport+” mode and experience superbly short response times through double-declutching when shifting down. One tap of the accelerator and the road is yours. 60 61 Perfection down to the last detail. A long bonnet, occupant compartment positioned much further back – the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 boasts the hallmark attributes of a sports car. The expressive AMG bodystyling is reflected at the front in the steeply raked radiator grille, front splitter in silver chrome and front apron in an A-wing design. In the silhouette the sporty style is continued in details such as the air intakes with fins in silver chrome and AMG 45.7 cm (18-inch) light-alloy wheels. The hallmark AMG pert tail end with its AMG sports exhaust system and chromed tailpipe trims forms the perfect conclusion. This same stylistic consistency is also apparent in the interior. Sports seats covered with nappa leather/DINAMICA microfibre with red topstitching ensure optimum lateral support. One grip of the optional AMG performance steering wheel with a flattened bottom section and red contrasting topstitching – and everything is ready for chasing around curves. It’s your move. 62 Agility and power. The 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine of the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 stands out for its state-of-the-art injection technology and mixture formation, resulting in maximum power combined with low consumption and meagre pollutant emissions. When it comes to Driving Performance the SLC 43 sets new standards in the segment with 270 kW (367 hp) and 520 Nm. The SLC 43 offers two suspension variants: the AMG sports suspension plus the optional AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with damping adjustment. On both versions, all components are designed for high lateral acceleration and reduced body roll. This is exemplified by the substantially reinforced control arm guide bearings and the AMG-specific engine and transmission mounts. The AMG high-performance braking system with internally ventilated and perforated brake discs all round offers maximum control – ensuring superb response and excellent deceleration performance. 63 64 65 Passion grows when it is shared: the AMG Private Lounge is our community centred around the world of AMG.
