2013 Mercedes Benz SL-Class – Test Mule Spy Shots

2013 Mercedes Benz SL-Class – Test Mule Spy Shots

More details and spyshots of the next generation Mercedes-Benz SL have emerged. The new pictures provide a better view on the new aluminium body of the German roadster.

The current model SL, the R230 was introduced in 2001 and received a major facelift in 2006 and 2008, so the lifespan of this model was coming to an end. The 2013 Mercedes SL will feature a more upright nose, making it more similar to the front of the CL. The rear incorporates elements from the SLS AMG.

The 2013 Mercedes SL will be slighty larger, but also much lighter thanks to its alumunium body. This body reduces the weight by more than 100kg and benefits the fuel consumption and performance.

The upcoming Mercedes SL will be unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show next January. For now check out the spy shots of the test mule below :
