Mercedes SLC Gullwing Winter Testing Spy Video

We can't wait to see it!

A little over a week ago we showed off some spy photos of the Mercedes SLC Gullwing. We just got some video in today, and it is starting to make us antsy. Antsy because we want to see the thing completely uncovered!

The Gullwing is being shown outside Arjeplog, Sweden, where temperatures are between -3° C and -16° C, or as low as 3.2° F. Numbers like that dredge up memories of waiting for the school bus in January in Chicago. Unfortunately, my family never took me to school in one of these.

All we know for sure is that the Gullwing should debut in 2010 with anywhere from 550 to 600 horsepower, twin-turbo V8. The engine should pump out about 445 ft-lb of torque with a 7-tronic automatic transmission.

Since the separation with McLaren, Mercedes is going the Gullwing on their own. Although the car will be made exclusively by AMG, McLaren is going to work on their own version as well.

What do you want a three-meter hood for? Making up for lack of man-hood? lol

Ok, we will see so many spy shots and vids about this car, that when it will be lunched in production, it won't be a big deal anymore.

the SLC was always caught testing wearing Dodge Viper mules. This is a disguise and while the car may possess a long bonnet the styling will be much different than the testing mules...

I'd laugh if it ends up being a viper with a merc grill rimz and headlights.
