| So there only testing the front of the new car and the rest is still the old body. You can tell the front is going to be wider and bigger than the R171... |

| Hey guys this is important, look up what supercars insider from Carspyshots, MCLAREN_P10 has said about the next SLK, and take a look at the last line. Styling for the SLK will take a new design all together, a clean sheet design as it is called! The styling weill feature plenty of classic Mercedes design cues, but very modern takes on all of them. It will remain a coupe-cabriolet witha folding aluminum roof. It will be slightly larger then the current model, and will offer several V-6 and V-8'smodels, and 2 different AMG models one witha twin-turbo 4.0 liter V-6 and another with a naturally aspirated 5.5 liter V-8 . the V-6 will produce as much as 479 BHP, and the V-8 will produce close to 550 BHP. Expect to see the SLK take ona SL-Class style front end also, with the classic single bar attached to the Pentastar emblem. The SL will be a more evolved sportscar this time around with styling cues taken from SLS/SLC models, which will give the SL a direct tie to these models. It will again be a coupe cabriolet, while the SLS/SLC cabriolet will arrive as a canvas folding roof to keep weight low. This model will also feature butterfly opening doors, meaning alot like the doors found on the SLR Roadsters. BMW M Division doesn't stand a chance against Mercedes-AMG's new engine line-up, theres plenty of power, and torque, all while these engines will be eco-friendly!!!! 20??

 | Becuase of the financial crisis MB can only afford to give the car a new front end. It will have to make do with the old rear. |

| Two AMG models? One with a 4.0L V6 and a naturally aspirated 5.5L V8....I seriously doubt either. M
