After an early leak that saw the first images of the new Mercedes-Benz SL-Class sneak online, the full swag of official details and images has now been released as Part of the new SL’s LA Auto Show debut.

Arriving as a facelift for the current R231 generation SL roadster, the new SL features a fresh face that takes it inspiration from the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe.
