I have to concede the SLS Roadster is a beautiful car, even without the wings. That elongated nose, huge wheels and muscular rump create a shape that's elegant, yet undeniably sexy. To me, a cloth top is the equivalent of sneakers with a dress suit, but I must admit this one is neatly finished. Still, it's much better left stowed. It can be activated at speeds up to 50 km/h and we're impressed with the mere eleven seconds it takes to deploy, but you can kiss rear visibility goodbye. More details on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster.
