2008 Mercedes SL

Mercedes-Benz have released this teaser view of 2008’s revised SL. The only image so far available is of the range topping SL 65 AMG with 612 horsepower twin-turbo V12 under it’s re-styled bonnet.

The rear features an aggressive new diffuser under the bumper. Rumours suggest the front end will receive a more dramatic design modification to keep in line with the new C-Class but this is yet to be confirmed.

The SL 55 AMG will be dropped from the the model range and be replaced by the SL 63 AMG with a larger 6.3 litre V8, 525 horsepower engine and AMG’s seven-speed ‘Speedshift’ gearbox.

The official launch of the 2008 Mercedes SL is expected to arrive during January.
