Baby SLS model, the SLC, will rival the Porsche 911 and feature more than a baby-like 500 HP

New details are emerging on the upcoming Mercedes-Benz 'baby SLS'.

This time German car magazine Auto Bild is reporting that the so-called SLC will sport up to 500 PS (368 kW / 493 bhp) and be positioned as an arch-rival to the Porsche 911.

For reasons of cost, the SLC would lose the gullwing doors of the larger SLS AMG model, and an entry-level model with around 350 PS (257 kW / 345 bhp) will cost less than €100,000.

Auto Bild says there are two scenarios for the SLC - one is an introduction of its own in 2014. The other is that the model becomes a successor to the SLS and replaces it in 2016.

Would love to see something to compete with the anventador or next 599, sort of SLR replacement.
