Mercedes has caused history to repeat itself as they have come out with a roadster version for one of their popular coupes. This trend was seen in the SLR McLaren and will now repeat itself with the SLS AMG coupe version. The SLS AMG Roadster will be revealed later this year, most likely at the Paris Auto Show, and will go on sale in 2011.
In terms of design, the roadster version will remain faithful to the coupe version. However, it will drop the gullwing doors in favor of more traditional units, including the possibility of scissor-type doors like those found on the older McLaren SLR roadster. The SLS Roadster will be offered with Mercedes’ traditional retractable soft-top.
The Mercedes SLS AMG roadster version will be powered by a 6.3-liter V8 engine with 563 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. However, being a much heavier model, it will rocket from 0 to 60mph in 4.0 seconds before topping out at approximately 192 mph.
In USA, the SLS Roadster will be priced at around $200K.
