Mercedes-Benz 380SLC

The vehicle we are introducing this time is the 1981 final model Mercedes-Benz 380 SLC.

Since there was no coupe model in the first S-Class, the wheelbase of the SL was extended by 254 mm to create a four-seater coupe.

In 1981, the W126-based SEC was created, so the 1981 model was the last SLC.

The SLC is not just a coupe model with a roof on the SL, but the wheelbase was extended by 254 mm to ensure a comfortable living space for four adults.

As a result, the overall length is 36 cm longer at 474 cm.

The finned windows called opera glass on the rear side windows make the SLC stand out.

Each part of the spoiler is a very valuable customization equipped with genuine AMG parts from that time.

The chassis components are repurposed from the mid-size W114, and the engine is equipped with a unit for the S-Class.

At the same time, the A/T has been improved from 3 to 4 speeds.
