Suppose Gullwing image leak (Updated pics)
besides looking retro. the front facia has some of the rx8 design, but that is probably just me.
The leaks are starting to flow. Just within the past week we saw the latest spy photos of an SLS Gullwing in grey, more official "teaser" images were published, and today rumours of an SLS Gullwing electric vehicle is slated for 2015. But the day isn't over yet and another very legitimate looking image revealing the front and rear design details has surfaced.
Here we have two very different versions of the same grainy image. The first of which is clearly a magazine cover from Autobild with a bonus rear shot, and the second version from Autowerald.com in The Netherlands is the source image without the clutter.
WCF sources state the images are genuine. Judging from the generic studio background and lack of computer touch-up work, they could be preview images for dealers or existing clientele. Additionally, the type of low resolution picture quality, even visible on the magazine cover version, suggests the source images are from a printed brochure or magazine and then captured using a mobile phone camera.
Public unveiling in Frankfurt is only two months away. Judging by all of the recent leaks and releases, an official media release could happen very soon.

Good R&T article where they got to drive it. It was still "disguised" in the photographs.
I like it. It's bad ***. I guess all the Mclaren SLR haters will be here soon.

Overall not bad at all. Looks very compact and small which I like. Not feeling the 350Z-like headlights in the "leak". Should be a little more special on a reincarnation of the legendary Gullwing SL or something. Headlights have been covered in all the spy pics from what I've seen so hopefully they won't look exactly like this or perhaps different in person.
