This morning, a grip of new images of the redesigned 2009 SL Mercedes hit the net. Details on the new SL are sparse, but as CarScoop reports, we do know the ’09 SL “features a completely redesigned front-end with a single-bar grille along with a revised rear-bumper, different side-gills and new alloy wheels. Inside, as with the 2009 CLS, Merc’s Roadster has been equipped with a new three-spoke steering wheel with multifunction buttons and a new-look instrument cluster with white dials.”

For its AMG model, Mercedes will replace the SL 55 AMG with the SL 63 AMG. “The latter features a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering 525 HP and 630 Nm of torque (SL 55 AMG: 5.5-liter supercharged V8 with 517 HP and 720 Nm of torque). The SL 63 AMG goes from nought to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.7 sec (SL 55 AMG: 4.5 sec).”
