The name was previously entertained as the tentative nameplate for Merc's upcoming gullwing supercar until it was replaced by the SLS nameplate. But if these shots from<em> Auto Express</em> are any indication, a roadster version is likely in the works as well. <br /><br />Rather than a folding hard-top like the SL, the droptop SLS looks like it will follow the path of the SLR McLaren (not to mention the original 300SL) with a canvas roof, and presumably it will offer full automatic operation and a glass rear window. Aside from the roof, the mechanics are anticipated to carry over unchanged from the specs that just <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/14/mercedes-benz-sls-amg-gets-driven-details-revealed/">hit the web earlier today</a>, while minimal weight gain should mean that performance will closely mirror that of its fixed-roof counterpart. <br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/238549/mercedes_slc_roadster.htm l">Auto Express</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/14/spy-shots-mercedes-benz-slc-amg-roadster/">Spy Shots: Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG Roadster?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:29:00 EST.
