Photographer Ben G caught the 2012 Mercedes SL-Class driving in London with minimal covering. We have been bringing you Mercedes SL spy photos for several months and as based on those and the new photos seen below, you see that the 2012 SL will take on the SLK and SLS AMG styling. Engine options will reportedly include a 306 PS (225 kW / 302 hp) 3.5-liter V6 in addition to a twin-turbo 4.6-liter V8 with 408 PS (300 kW / 402 hp) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque. Reports are also in that the SL63 AMG will be powered by a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 with 544 PS (400 kW / 537 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque.

Thanks to Giana for sending the photos. We will keep you posted with the latest information as it comes in.
