Detroit, Michigan – January 11, 2015. Today, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Mercedes-Benz premiered the new Mercedes-Benz SLC, which will be available in the spring of 2016. The press release from Mercedes-Benz when the SLC was first announced stated, “A feature that continues to be unique to the SLC is the panoramic vario-roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL – this glass roof is lightened or darkened at the touch of a button. This means that it provides an open-air feeling at any time, but when required gives welcome shade under a hot sun.” The MAGIC SKY CONTROL feature, using Research Frontiers SPD-SmartGlass technology, is a carry over from the SLC’s predecessor model, the SLK roadster.
