The Mercedes-Benz sub-brand, AMG®, is appealing to adrenaline-thirsty drivers who frequently navigate rugged terrain and like a thrilling, bolstered ride. But, that doesn't mean that the universal appeal of the AMG® Division isn't worth exploring for other types of drivers as well.
So, in order to underscore this point, Mercedes-Benz is broadening the scope of its target demographic by including an ingenious addition to the AMG® lineup: 4MATIC® all-wheel drive.
Besides being simply an incredible drivetrain system, 4MATIC® is tremendously versatile within the new Mercedes-Benz lineup. Which is why when we at Fletcher Jones Motorcars heard about the forthcoming 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG® Coupe we weren't too surprised. However, we were quite impressed with our favorite automaker's tactic to make a more diverse, much smaller AMG® offering.
The plan is to fit the 2015 SLC AMG® Coupe with a 3.0-liter V6 engine which pumps out up to 330 horsepower. This type of engine configuration would allow Mercedes-Benz to make the auto more economical than the current SLS AMG® model. As for the pricing-specifics, they have yet to be confirmed.
And, in case you're a self-proclaimed performance-buff with a need for speed and power, then we can assure you you'll be happy with the additional engine options available for the 2015 SLC AMG® Coupe. They include: a 480-hp V8 and a currently-in the-works 580-hp V8 for an even more ferocious ride.
