Mercedes-Benz surprised the rally world in 1977 with the announcement of the 450 SLC. Built to homologate the 450 SL for the 1978 World Rally Championship, the car was powered by a new all-aluminium 5.0-litre V-8. The special body featured weight-saving alloy bonnet and boot panels, with the rally car developed by the renowned engineer, Dr Erich Waxenberger. Mercedes-Benz built 19 examples exclusively for use in international rallying, with only seven badged as an 450 SLC 5.0, each equipped with a specially developed automatic transmission.
