SLS GT3

I must admit I've never been a fan of the gullwing doors on the SLS AMG, they add complexity where it really wasn't needed and distract from the SLS AMG's virtues as a driving machine. The New SLS AMG Roadster, that Mercedes officially revealed this morning, returns to a more purist design with the added bonus of releasing more of the AMG 6.3-litre V8's wonderful sound for the enjoyment of its driver and passenger.

Three Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3s will be at the starting line for the 24-hour race in Dubai (UAE) on 15 January 2011. This first test event in 2011 also marks the completion of the development programme for the racing version of the gullwing model.
