<br /> Our man Chris Paukert had a layover in Germany this weekend on his way to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/">Geneva Motor Show</a> that included a visit to the headquarters of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/mercedes-benz/">AMG</a> in
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />Affalterbach. While there, a prototype <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/sls+amg">SLS AMG</a> Roadster made a suspiciously timed pass and pause while he and other journalists were walking around the compound. No matter the motivation, our man Paukert snagged a brace of shots and says that the droptop is expected to arrive as a 2012 model. <br /> <br /> Aside from the folding top in place of the upward swinging gullwing doors, not much else is expected to change. Paukert got off-the-record confirmation from a company official, however, that the roadster will not immediately receive the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/01/2011-mercedes-s63-gets-all-new-5-5-liter-biturbo-v8-start-stop/">twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8</a> that is going into the 2011 S63 sedan. Instead, it will carry over the 563-horsepower, normally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 already on sale in the coupe. <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2012-mercedes-benz-amg-sls-roadster/low/">Spy Shots: 2012 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2012-mercedes-benz-amg-sls-roadster/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/2012-mb-sls-amg-roadster--7_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2012-mercedes-benz-amg-sls-roadster/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/2012-mb-sls-amg-roadster--1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2012-mercedes-benz-amg-sls-roadster/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/2012-mb-sls-amg-roadster--10_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2012-mercedes-benz-amg-sls-roadster/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/2012-mb-sls-amg-roadster--11_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2012-mercedes-benz-amg-sls-roadster/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/2012-mb-sls-amg-roadster--12_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div> <br /> <em><strong><small>Phot os Copyright (C)2010 Chris Paukert / Weblogs, Inc.</small></strong></em><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/01/spy-shots-2012-mercedes-benz-amg-sls-roadster-spotted-in-affalt/">Spy Shots: 2012 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS roadster spotted in Affalterbach</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:31:00 EST.
