Just before the Frankfurt Motor Show, several new car images are being leaked and today it is Mercedes-Benz’s turn. Images of the new 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG were leaked onto the internet today. We posted several spy images in the past of the upcoming Benz SLS AMG and I have to say that the images leaked today reveal a much better “look” than the one speculated over previous spy shots.
The “Gullwing” inspired design makes this a classy looking Benz. The new SLS AMG will use the 6.3-liter V8 with 563 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque matted to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission as found in other AMG Benz vehicles. The SLS AMG will weigh in at 3,500 pounds which should make this car good for a dash to 60mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 197mph.
Only a few colors will be offered, Alubeam Silver, Alanite Grey, Syvanite Grey and red. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will go on sale in the beginning of 2011 with a price around €177,310 MSRP in Germany.
