Roadster version of Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG already testing in USA, spy video included | Rpmgo.com

A day after we revealed that new versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG supercar will appear, among them being a Black Series one, a roadster and an electric, the boys at Auto Motor und Sport captured the Roadster convertible version of the SLS being tested in California’s Death Valley.

It seems that the model sports a folding canvas top, but one major modification has been made in terms of the doors, which now have handles that suggest the Gullwing-style opening mechanic has been replaced by a conventional one, in order to compliment the folding roof. In terms of mechanics though, it seems that it will still be powered by the same 6.3-liter V8 one, which develops 471 HP and 650Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque.

Enjoy this spy video.
