Due to be revealed at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show, the 300SL-inspired "Gullwing" is packing a front/mid-mounted version of the venerable 6.3-liter V8 fitted to the majority of AMG's offerings, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox channeling 563 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Weight is pegged at around 3,500 pounds, allowing the SLS to run from a rest to 60 in 3.7 seconds. Top speed is 197 mph and optional carbon ceramic discs should bring the party to a halt with supreme authority.
Although we've seen an endless string of spy shots of the SLS over the past year, we finally get a clear view of its upright fascia, drawn headlamps and curvaceous rump that draws a few cues from the departed McMerc and modern M-Bs.
Color choices will include Alubeam Silver, Syvanite Grey, Alanite Grey and red, complimenting the leather and alcantara interior and ten-spoke forged wheels. Production will begin in late 2010 with sales starting the following year, and early pricing suggests a €177,310 MSRP in Germany. Get your first eye-full in the gallery below before all the official details are delivered next week.
Looks pretty cool, they did a good job of retaining the original vehicles styling cues.

"In fact, 70 percent of GT3 buyers take their machines to the racetrack. The other 30 percent, one assumes, have just gotten lost on the back roads on the way there."

It has its own bespoke steel and aluminum tube chassis, but the M156 engine has been changed so much that it actually has it own M159 engine code.

I want a car so violent that the mere thought of full throttle would cause a heart attack. That actually going wide open throttle in would result in nothing less than instant death!
Does anyone know if it's sharing a platform with any current MB car?
Some additional pictures in case others wanted other angles...
Competely new platform w/double wishbone suspension. 3500 lbs (wet with driver). 48/52 weight distribution. 563 hp dry sump, Carbon brakes option.
This is a serious street/track design. Rumor is 7:30's on the Nurburgring.
