The car is internally known as the C190, but the production model will likely wear the SLC badge or potentially GT AMG. Whatever they plan on calling it, you can get and early look at it with these new spy shots.

Like most of the shots around this time of year, the coupe is undergoing rigorous cold-weather testing.
When the new car debuts later this year we expect it to be powered by a 400-horsepower engine, possibly the 4.6-liter V8 found in the E550 . Later down the line, a faster, more powerful version will be released and eventually a hard-core Black Series car will likely be produced.

Currently, the only official plan from Mercedes is to build a coupe version, but after the success of the SLS Roadster, expect the team at Benz to drop the top of this new model as well.
