#2013Sl-class

Mercedes is recalling 432 SL-Class cars because of an issue it discovered during crash testing that could lead to a fire.

With a new 429-horsepower twin-turbo V8 and a 308 lb weight reduction, the Mercedes-Benz SL finally has the looks to match its epic grunt, as these official pictures show.

What you are looking at here are the first leaked images of the 2013 SL-series, and these seem to be scanned from its official brochure.

Mercedes-Benz promises that we’ll see the next-generation SL in all its glory before the year is over, and more details have been released as they work towards their goal. The revamped SL roadster will feature a body shell made of 89-percent aluminum, making it almost 310-lbs lighter than its predecessor.
