Patent Drawings Make Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster Look Lame

2012_mercedes-benz_sls-amg_ill_ns_311103_815.jpg Thankfully, we have actual photos of SLS Roadster prototypes to remind that it will look just fine when it arrives later this year. As you can see, the signature gullwing doors are gone. No doubt there were some crafty engineers in Germany trying to figure out how to make gullwing doors out of a folding top, but common sense eventually prevailed.

This thing won't need fancy doors anyway. Just the sound of the engine is enough to make you want to put the top down and forget it goes back up.

Saw a SLS coupe in person a few weeks back at Palm Beach Supercar weekend. It was parked within 20 feet of a SLR. When you look at the two you can clearly see that the SLS is just a gussied up SLR. I was not impressed.

.....I'm sure other's will disagree.
