Vehicle story

Finished in black over deep red leather, this SLC carries the unmistakable presence of late-70s Mercedes grand touring design: understated luxury, heavy chrome details, pillarless coupe lines, and the analog character that made these cars legendary. Powered by the iconic Mercedes M117 4.5L V8, the car was engineered for effortless highway cruising and long-distance comfort rather than outright speed — a true European grand tourer from an era when Mercedes built cars to feel permanent.
