The camouflaged Mercedes-Benz MLC prototype spotted by TouriClips testing around the Ring sounds really sporty.
This particular one is probably running a six-cylinder engine (possibly the 329 hp bi-turbo V6), and it not only has a pleasant note, but its also crackles and pops on the overrun. I you closed your eyes and just listened, you wouldn’t think it’s the noise coming out of the back of an SUV…
It also looks pretty fast and planted around the twists, but in several instances it all goes a bit squirrely with noticeable understeer tendencies evident.
Set to be revealed in 2015, the MLC was foretold by a close-to-production concept that previews the series model in exactly the same manner as the S-Coupe concept did.
