This 2012 Mercedes SL spy video has recently surfaced on YouTube and shows the future version during winter time testing. The 2012 Mercedes SL caught on camera is wearing heavy camouflage so there's not much we can say about its appearance. The 2012 Mercedes SL will have a larger front grille and air vents on the fenders. The 2012 Mercedes SL seems to have the same general dimensions as the current version, but various sources believe it will be lighter. The weight reduction has been made by using more aluminum in the construction of the car.
The exact engine specifications of the 2012 Mercedes SL are not available yet, but the new version is expected to share a number of components with the new SLS AMG.
The 2012 Mercedes SL will have similar suspension and braking systems and probably a similar electric system.
