New computer illustration of the Mercedes-Benz SLA Roadster

Muamer Hodzic March 26, 2009

The SLA is inspired by the BlueZero concept unveiled at the 2009 NAIAS in Detroit and should provide great performance while being power by a small and fuel efficient engine. The SLA will be based on the A-Class platform and would compete directly with VW Bluesport, Audi R2 and BMW Z2. While the above illustration from the folks over at Automarket is not official of course, it is very similar to the BlueZero concept.

Muamer Hodzic March 25, 2009
