It looks like an SLR prototype. It says it could be an SLC Super Coupe, but I have never heard of an SLC, just the SL or SLR. However, something about the front clip really reminds me of the shape of an Aston Martin's front end.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/mercedes-slc-future.html Updated link, sure is strange looking in the front. I guess they didn't want to do any favors to give us clues to what the front end will look like. Sure is Viper rear end, hood looks much longer then before, possibly more room for forced induction?

That is a very long hood. Is that the SLC "Cruella De Vil" Edition?

With the cover on i first thought maybe the next gen. viper. But when they took the cover off the front i just got lost not knowing what the hell it was.

Considering MB used to own Chrylser and the last SLR had a ridiculously long front end, this just looks like the next generation w/Viper panels on it to keep people guessing. I think its working!

i agree being as MB just sold chrysler, why would they be using a viper for testing and not a previous SLR or whatever? I vote for a super viper or something like that.
