The new Mercedes SL 63 AMG had its sneak preview this morning in Barcelona while being tested by Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg. The F1 drivers drove the high-performance SL AMG roadster at the official Formula One test on the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.

The much anticipated roadster is set to go on sale in North America in July 2012 with power coming from the AMG’s latest M157 engine. The twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8, used in the E63, the CLS63, the S63, the CL63 and he ML63, has been tuned to deliver 529 hp.

We can expect to see further details at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
