The 3.0 AT (390 hp) produces 390 hp, or 287 kW, at 6100 rpm. Its maximum torque is 520 Nm from 2500 to 5000 rpm.
The 3.0 AT (367 hp) produces 367 hp, or 270 kW, from 5500 to 6000 rpm. It also develops 520 Nm, available from 2000 to 4200 rpm.
Mercedes SLC AMG Performance and Fuel Economy
The 3.0 AT (390 hp) accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 250 km/h. Its fuel consumption is 11.1 L/100 km in the city, 6.7 L/100 km on the highway, and 8.1 L/100 km combined. CO₂ emissions are 185 g/km, and the environmental class is Euro 6.
The 3.0 AT (367 hp) also accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and has a maximum speed of 250 km/h. It consumes 10.7 L/100 km in the city, 6.2 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.8 L/100 km combined. CO₂ emissions are 178 g/km, and the environmental class is Euro 6.
Despite the difference in power, the supplied figures show identical acceleration, maximum speed, and torque. The 3.0 AT (367 hp) uses 0.4 L/100 km less in the city, 0.5 L/100 km less on the highway, and 0.3 L/100 km less in combined driving. Its listed CO₂ output is also 7 g/km lower.
Mercedes SLC AMG Dimensions and Weight
Both versions have a kerb weight of 1,595 kg and a gross weight of 1,890 kg. Ground clearance is not measured in the supplied data. Exterior length, width, and height are also not measured.
The fuel tank holds 60 L in both versions. The listed wheel sizes are 235/40 R18 and 255/35 R18.
The 3.0 AT (390 hp) and 3.0 AT (367 hp) both use Independent, spring suspension at the front and rear. Ventilated disc brakes are specified at both axles.
Which Mercedes SLC AMG Version to Choose?
Choose the 3.0 AT (390 hp) if maximum listed output is the priority. It provides 23 hp and 17 kW more than the 3.0 AT (367 hp), while matching its 520 Nm torque figure, 4.7-second acceleration to 100 km/h, and 250 km/h maximum speed.
Choose the 3.0 AT (367 hp) if lower listed fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions matter more. It retains the same displacement, cylinder layout, Turbo system, 9-speed Automatic gearbox, RWD, acceleration figure, and maximum speed, but its combined consumption is 7.8 L/100 km instead of 8.1 L/100 km. It also reaches maximum torque from 2000 rpm, compared with 2500 rpm for the 390 hp version.
No Mercedes SLC AMG price, sale listing, reliability record, or problem data is provided, so those points cannot be used to compare the two versions. Based strictly on the available specifications, the decision is between the higher output of the 3.0 AT (390 hp) and the lower fuel consumption and emissions of the 3.0 AT (367 hp).
