The Mercedes SLS AMG coupe has just been presented at Frankfurt, but here already is a spy video of the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster. Heavily camouflaged, we can see the overall style of the SLS AMG spider version, which loses the Gullwing doors. No detailed information is available as to the nature of hte roof, but we assume to keep the weight contained and maintain the excellent performance of the coupe, a simple soft roof with electric mechanism will be used.

The general mechanics of the SLS AMG Roadster will be the same as the coupe, with a 6.2-litre V8 at 571 hp, with possible EDrive version also available. Given the advanced stage of testing it is reasonable to think that the spider would be ready to present at the Geneva show next year, though for marketing reasons, that could be moved to a US event with commercialisation starting in 2011.
