Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG details released - with Gullwing doors!
It was only a matter of time. Last night's initial leak of low-res shots and details of the new 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has been follow with real, honest-to-goodness images in high resolution.
Apart from the new pics, there's not much news to report. The car has 300SL-inspired "Gullwing" doors that look awesome and, more importantly, 563 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque funneled to the rear wheels from the front/mid-mounted 6.3-liter AMG V8. Thanks to a lightweight structure molded predominantly from carbon fiber, the SLS AMG will scoot to 60 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds and on up to a top speed of 197 mph.
Want one? Well, sure you do... so do we. But you'll need to wait at least another year before production begins with sales slated to follow shortly thereafter. We'll be on hand at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week to get live shots of Merc's new beastie, but in the meantime, check out our gallery of high-res images here.

I must be the only one who thinks it looks ugly.
And somewhat like a Z4.
Not sure about it...and from some angles I se the MR2 Spyder...
The Black Hawk
Love it!!!!!
It has a touch of the classic old Mercedes looks mixed with the future and modern style,
Plus those power and speed numbers are amazing.
