Post Autoblog Spy Shots: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG caught winter testing

Autoblog shares with us reports that "stem from an interview given by AMG boss Ola Kallenius in Auto Motor und Sport, outlining what the Silver Star performance studio has in the pipeline. Among them is the long-anticipated convertible version of the Benz SLS AMG supercar, which will come as a welcome improvement for many.

The upward lifting doors on the SLS coupe may be the car's party piece, but not everyone has fallen in love with them – the roadster will offer the same retrotastic styling and the same 560-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine, plus the wind-in-your-hair factor and sans the showy portals.


A prototype of the SLS droptop has just been spotted undergoing winter testing, and this is the first time we can recall seeing the canvas roof unadorned by camouflage, giving us a better look at what the finished car will look like."

its interesting that they have several convertables to compare too.

I'm still not a fan of the drop top. I'd rather have the doors.

Works for me! I like it a lot but the Coupe still steals my heart.

LOL at that disguise. Who spent time covering up the emblems, and why exactly.

And wow ... the doors make that car. The convertible is like Heidi Klum without a face. It's just a pair of average tits. Coupé for me any day of the week.
