Don't you realize it's an SL55 PS? The V12 is not supercharged.

I was under the impression the SL65 is a TT V12, and the SL600 is a NA V12...

Both are 6L V12 TT. Before the facelift of the W220 S-class and the C215 CL-class they used a 367bhp NA V12 (S/CL-600), but that engine never found it's way into the R230 (current) SL.

I kinda dont like the photoshoped SL with CLS face, but i think that they would go in that direction. The new C klasse is an example.

Its a nice looking car, but too heavy IMHO. I will see when i try one. (yeah right )

Some new Spy pics of the 09 SL...and yet another rendering with the cls front end.

And I guess thats what we are going to see as the final car.

I also don´t believe those new pics. And why change the current design? IMO this is still one of the best looking cars around.

AS if it'll look like that. think it's likely to have a more sinister nose.

Most revealing spyshots showing the CLS-inspired front-end (I like the new grille!)

Err the SL65 AMG is a TT V12, the SL600 isn't equipped with the TT .. The TT version delivers 612bhp@4800rpm, the 'normal' V12 delivers 517bhp@5000rpm!

I know, late reaction
