Mercedes has decided to let the current SL live for another couple of years before the all new SL will come one the market. In order to change the looks and hopefully keep up the good sales figures, the SL will get a major facelift next year. These photos, taken just recently in Death Valley, capture an AMG model SL as it undergoes high temperature testing.
The biggest change will be the CLS-style headlamps together with a new bumper and grille. Camouflage at the rear lights is hiding a new shape and LEDs. Other features that will come for the facelifted SL are the air scarfs in the headrests known from the SLK.
Engines are likely to remain the same as in the current model, but rumours about a turbocharged version of the 350 engine with 354 bhp are doing the rounds as well. Top of the line will be the SL65 AMG with 612 bhp.
