First hand information: 2013 Mercedes Benz SL class

Mercedes Benz is all set to launch a series of new edition in the next couple of years. They have recently revealed information about the SLS AMG which is the new version of A and B class. It is expected that Mercedes will launch a series of SLK, CLS, ML and a new C class coupe.

The spy cameras have also captured images of prototypes of a brand new SL class. The exterior looks similar to the current edition, however on a closer look it reveals that it is a prototype of the next gen SL which is due in 2012.

This new edition has been designed picking up styling cues from the previous SLK prototypes as well as the SLS AMG and even the next gen CLS. The tail light design looks quite familiar and borrowed from the earlier editions.

There are many differences when the current SL and this latest prototype edition is compared. The new edition will sport a wider stance and sit lower in comparison to the other models.

The interiors reveal a boxier design but it is too early to contemplate on its finer details. It is expected that this edition will be designed using light weight aluminum to offer better handling, performance, ride and good fuel economy.

The new edition will be powered by V6 and V8 engine and will be teamed with the SLS AMG’s seven speed dual clutch transmission. It is expected that the 2013 Mercedes Benz SL will share its components like suspensions, drivetrain and electric system with the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG.

There is a speculation that Mercedes is planning to go green with this edition and might consider unveiling a hybrid technology edition.
