It seems that the Germans at Mercedes are intensifying tests for the 2015 SLC, a model which wants to replace the current SLS AMG which will quit production in March.

The new Mercedes SLC is also expected to be cheaper than the current sports car but still opt for a similar appearance and supercar-like performance.
