Mercedes SL Facelift undisguised

Mercedes caused quite a stir when curious onlookers stopped by to check out the 2009 Mercedes SL facelift whilst it was on a commercial shoot in Southern Italy.

Despite the car cover covering the face we can just about see the SL’s CLS- inspired headlights, which sweep up around the front fenders and the new chiseled front bumper and bold grille design. Tweaked tail-lights, a revised rear bumper, and new exhaust ports round out the changes at the rear.

The production car was with another Mercedes SL and SLK facelift.

A whole new car is expected around 2013.
