It’s certainly no secret Mercedes has been working on a roadster variant of the SLS AMG, and now new renderings have appeared from the European patent office outlining (literally) the model from a variety of angles.  As expected, the SLS AMG Roadster will be equipped with a cloth top as well as traditional front-hinged doors.   Aside from these differences, the model will maintain the overall form of the traditional Gullwing variant.

Rumor has it production of the 2012 SLS AMG Roadster will commence in early 2011, while European deliveries will start at the end of spring the same year.  For more details of the 2012 Mercedes SLS Roadster, you can check out the full gallery below.

While we’re on the subject of Mercedes G-Class tuning, RENNtech has unveiled new renderings showcasing a potential variant of the SUV that they’re considering for future production.  Details of the G Wagen are relatively limited, but the company says it’s inspired by 30 years of G-Wagens and will feature a diesel powerplant (in addition to the various cosmetic enhancements you see above).

We’ll keep you posted if any new details are released; in the meantime, you can check out a pair of renderings showcasing the chrome-endowed model below (click either to enlarge).
