It's official now. Say hello to the 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. The SLS Roadster will most likely keep the 6.2 liter engine, however expect a performance drop due to added weight and less structural rigidity. Since this car is competing with the Audi R8 and Gallardo convertible we predict the car will cost around $200K.

but....it loses the gullwing doors...

and looks even uglier now.

Without the doors now, and with just a little bit of the added overall performance....What makes this car any better than the normal AMG SL??

 

[BG]

The only reason i was mildly interested in the SLS was the gullwing doors...without it seems like a hopeless try to keep the car alive.

Bring the SLR back!

yes it does lose the gullwing door ... but honestly i would get this over an audi r8 and gallardo convertible i actually like the look .

 

[schmidty]

Really? I was/am not a fan of the sls in general, but there is no way I would get this over an r8 or gallardo. I personally do not think it competes with those, rather, its competition now will be with the sl63/65. MB should just discontinue and move on- IMO.

NO !

I bet if he rolled up into valet with an SLS roadster, he'd get a girl or two to bat her eyes at him.

 

[akiruno]

Without the gullwings the uniqueness is lost

 

[crgray]

the SLS was ugly before. The only thing that saves it is the gullwing doors

 

[2fst2c]

hmm kinda looks like a Z8 just a bit.

 

[A106]

Yeah, at first glance, looking down on the car I saw Z8. That was my first reaction - then I saw the rest of the car...

 

[alex911s]

Add another car for fastest depreciation..lol

 

[Mac K]

I like it, It has potential.

 

[ShantJ]

It's not like it's a new idea:

It's not like it's a new idea:

Good point. it will be cool in 50 years.

Gullwing doors are more "exclusive" to the sls.

 

[R35AAA]

they are stupid to do this. gullwing is everything to do sls.. without it, it's nothing..

 

[RAWeiss]

i dont think i can say i like it... the gullwings defnitely add a major part to the uniqueness/overall persona of the SLS, imho i think the roadster just doesnt look as good either...
