If the SLS AMG coupé wasn’t extreme enough, Mercedes-Benz has just revealed the SLS AMG Roadster, which is scheduled for an India launch towards the end of 2012. The Roadster loses the coupé’s gullwing doors and instead features new frameless doors with conventional hinges. Its three-layer roof comes with a glass rear window and can be opened on the fly at speeds upto 50kph. Weight gain has been well restricted with the Roadster weighing just 40kg more than its coupé sibling. Performance from the 563bhp 6.2-litre V8 will be staggering. The figures say it all – 0-100kph in a claimed 3.8sec and a top speed of 321kph. The Roadster won’t come cheap though.

Engine: 6.2-litre petrol V8
