Rumormill: Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster coming in 2011
In a story that's sure to surprise no one, France's L'Automobile magazine is reporting that the upcoming Mercedes-Benz SLS supercar will be available in Roadster form sometime in 2011. According to the report, the gull-wing SLS will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September and will go on sale in the spring of 2010. Like the 300SL inspiration, the SLS will be available in fixed-roof and drop-top guise, with both versions powered by an AMG-fettled 6.2-liter V8 putting out 571 hp. However, it's unclear whether M-B will utilize a folding hard-top or a more traditional canvas roof design.Gallery: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

I know it's a photoshop rendition. The grill looks pretty good, but I can't say the same about the headlamps.

Yeah same thought here. Hope the real thing won't look anything like this, cause this renderings design looks plainly boring and not worthy of the heritage at all...

I hope Mercedes stops using those (+) shaped AC vents. Those things look terrible and make the luxury side of Mercedes look cheap.

Very cool looking, but a shame it won't come with a clutch pedal I'm assuming.
