2013 Mercedes-Benz SL-Klasse - First Artist Impression


The Romanian designer Andrei Avarvarii, well-known for its both interesting and intriguing car renderings, has recently come up with a computer-generated image of how he imagined the future SL-Klasse roadster would look like. Avarvarii combined styling lines from two different Mercedes-Benz models:

- the headlights from the very nonconformist F 700 concept;
- the radiator grille, the front air intake and the exterior mirrors from the new SLS AMG Gullwing.

The final result is, all in all, OK, although a bit awkward for a Merc. Forget about the Santa he put behind the wheel. It was a bad move...
