The new Mercedes-AMG SLC 43

vehicle characteristics can be adjusted instantly at the touch of a button, as the system modifies the engine, transmission, steering and suspension at the driver’s behest. The five modes – “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport+”, “Eco” and “Individual” are easy to select using the DYNAMIC SELECT button in the upper control panel on the dashboard console. The selected mode is shown on the colour multifunction display and also appears as a pop-up message on the head unit display.

Assistance and safety systems: a comprehensive range

The Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 is equipped with Active Brake Assist, known until now as COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS. In addition to a visual proximity warning and an audible collision warning, it includes Adaptive Brake Assist, which can help prevent collisions by boosting the brake pressure to suit the situation. Should the risk of collision remain and the driver fails to react, the system can trigger autonomous braking.

• The SLC 43 4MATIC Coupé sets the pace of driving pleasure. The increased performance of the powertrain with instant response behaviour offers pure driving dynamics capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 4.7 seconds
• The SLC 43 meets the AMG brand claim most impressively, combining a 270 kW (367 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine with an AMG sports suspension: The independently developed AMG front and rear axles, including AMG-specific mounts for the engine and rear axle differential, are designed for high lateral acceleration and low body roll.

Driving Performance is the AMG brand promise — and the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 lives up to it in impressive style. The new model combines a 270 kW (367 hp), 520 Nm, 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine with a modified version of the AMG sports suspension familiar from the Mercedes-AMG SLK 55, and the combination is reflected in the sporty performance figures, with the SLC 43 accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds.

With DYNAMIC SELECT the

ountry roads and motorways, when cornering and on bends, the LED Intelligent Light System automatically adapts to all light and driving conditions. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is also available for dazzle-free continuous high beam usage. This system always automatically sets the optimum headlamp range. The driver can concentrate on the traffic and does not have to continually switch between low beam and high beam.

If the front passenger seat is unoccupied or a child seat is detected, the front passenger airbag is now deactivated automatically. This helps prevent small children from being injured by the front passenger airbag deploying. The reliable recognition function uses a pressure sensor.

Reversing into a parking space and manoeuvring can be made significantly safer and more straightforward with the optional reversing camera. It is automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged and uses the head unit display to show the driver the area behind the vehicle with dynamic guide lines. The Parking Assist PARKTRONIC including Parking Guidance can make locating a parking space and parallel parking easier.

Comfort appointments: vario-roof now even easier to operate

The Mercedes-AMG SLC 43’s vario-roof combines open-top driving pleasure with uncompromised comfort in poor weather. Operating the electrohydraulic roof is now even more straightforward. If the vehicle has to move off while the roof is opening or closing, the process which was started when at a standstill can be continued up to a speed of approx. 40 km/h. Another new feature is the semi-automatic boot separator in conjunction with the vario-roof convenience feature or KEYLESS-GO: if the separator is in the upper position for increased boot capacity, it automatically moves down when the roof is opened.

A feature that continues to be unique to the SLC, including the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 is the panoramic vario-roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL, this glass roof is lightened or darkened at the touch of a button. This means that it provides an open-air feeling at any time, but when required gives welcome shade under hot sun.

Infotainment: extended functions for COMAND Online

As a control and display system for navigation, phone, audio, video and internet, the COMAND Online infotainment system, available in the SLC 43 offers a wide range of new and extended features. These include the 7-inch (17.8 cm) high-resolution TFT display and internet access from the stationary vehicle, plus unrestricted use of the Mercedes-Benz Apps.
