1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC 5.0 exterior and interior photos.
The "5.0" badge on the tail tells the world that this is no ordinary SLC 450.
The coupe is barely any smaller than its sedan counterparts.
The 5.0-liter V-8 is well suited to autobahn work, especially with the tall gearing assigned to this model.
From this seat, it's easy to average triple-digit speeds.
The 5.0 enjoys a healthy diet of aluminum, so it's also lighter than its 4.5-liter compatriot by 253 pounds.
The 5.0 isn't exactly a tight squeeze in the 450 SLC engine bay.
The 5.0 gets exhaust valves that are larger than the 4.5-liter's and have sodium-filled stems.
The steering barely feels any lighter at high speeds, an indication that Benz did a good job managing aerodynamic lift.
That modest little lip on the trunk is one visual tell that this is the 5.0-liter car.
