Post Mercedes SLS photos

From Mercedes SLS Gullwing Leaked! - Mercedes SLS Gullwing - Jalopnik

And Mercedes AMG SLS Gullwing Teasers Show Off Simple, Sexy Interior

And Mercedes SLS AMG: Goodness Gracious, Great Headers Of Fire! - 2010 Mercedes SLS AMG - Jalopnik

We showed you the interior details two days ago, and those headers of fire a while back, but thanks to an as-yet-unnamed magazine, we've got what's supposedly the first look at the upcoming 571 HP supercharged V8-powered Mercedes SLS Gullwing.

We'll update as soon as we hear more on the Brucegasmic modern throwback to the classic gullwing 300SL.
Development is wrapping up on the Mercedes AMG SLS Gullwing, the all-new, 571 HP gull-winged velvet hammer from Stuttgart. A sneak peek of the beast inside.
Replacing the Mercedes AMG SLR as the top shelf offering from Mercedes, the SLS Gullwing is taking a page out of company history and aping the gull wing doors from the legendary 1954 Mercedes 300SL, but it's not looking back for much else. The interior takes inspiration from modern luxury jets, pretty much everything not covered in leather is raw carbon fiber or aluminum. We're really digging the row of buttons and knobs on the center console, though the 8000 RPM redline and 330 KPH (205 MPH) top speed marked out on the dials are pretty exciting too. The 571 HP V8 will mate to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with the option to row your own at the shifter or through the steering wheel paddles. The knob on the center console looks to be a suspension and tune control with four different setting. We can also see the doors will get a power close feature as their outfitted with a pair of linear actuators. Not too shabby a working environment if you ask us.
That's hot. No, not in the Paris Hilton silly-slang kind o' way. Rather, the headers on this Mercedes SLS AMG V8 during testing are hot in that holy-mother-of god kind o' way. You seemed to like the slew of shots of the Mercedes SLS AMG's important bits and pieces, so we kinda figured you'd be all over this shot of the big V8 engine undergoing testing — especially when you check out how burning-red-hot those headers are running. We like. It's the perfect engine pr0n for a Friday afternoon.

From the outside it looks horrible but this is the best Mercedes interior I've seen yet! I love that they finally decided to use real metal for things instead of just silver painted plastic. I think this has a lot of potential to look really good in black with a red or tan interior.
