Despite the masking, this is by far the best look yet at what will be the new Mercedes Gullwing. Visible is a single louvre grille, reminiscent of the original 300SL Gullwing, as is a moveable spoiler in the rear. The overall contours of the model are also much more visible, due to the removal of the false body panels seen in the past.
According to AutoWeek, the new Mercedes Gullwing model – still yet to be named – is slated for a two-year production cycle of about 6,000 units, with pricing set to be “several hundred thousand dollars” (earlier reports indicated the model would be priced around $130,000). Power was originally thought to be supplied by AMG’s 6.3-Liter V8, but it’s now being speculated that the V12 from the SL65 AMG Black Series could be called on instead (which would obviously account for the price difference).
We’ll keep you posted as any new details of the Mercedes Gullwing are revealed; in the meantime, keep scrolling for a few additional photos (click to enlarge), then head over to AutoWeek for the full, action-packed gallery.
