Spy Shots: 2009 Mercedes Benz SL
Mercedes looks to be continuing to strengthen its already strong lineup with an update of the SL for 2009. The vehicle will take on more CL cues and will benefit from changes to the headlights, grille, and air intakes. According to the shooters, this well-disguised vehicle may be the AMG version of the SL.
The photos were taken during cold weather testing near the Arctic circle. We don't know of too many people that drive rear-wheel-drive uber-coupes at -20 degrees, but if you take out the SL, it should be ready. Hats off to the Hans Lehmann photographer that braved the freezing temperatures to snap the picture.

It is very obvious this is going to be the new SL63 AMG. Mercedes benz wouldn’t dream about comming out with a new generation SL and only change the grill and maybe the Mercedes headlights... But bottom line is that this is goin to be a great and gorgeous car...
