Just a month after the first spy photos came in giving us the rebirth of the legendary Mercedes-Benz Gullwing, spy photographer Rich Truesdell has captured yet another impeccable look at the future supercar – one that this time offers a high resolution view of the model testing in the California desert. As you’ll see, the next Mercedes Benz Gullwing still boasts an exceptional amount of camouflage, but the demeanor of the original 300 SL is still present, with a bit of imagination anyway.
In addition to the various photos they captured of the Gullwing, Automotive Traveler also published a number of details for what they believe we can expect from the future model. Power is likely to come from AMG’s 6.2-Liter V8 outputting around 600 horsepower, mated to a 8-speed transaxle. Curb weight is expected to come in under 1,700 kilograms with the help of an ultra-stiff aluminum and carbon fiber space frame, the result of which will be a 0-62 mph time of about 3.7 seconds. And in terms of size, the next Gullwing is expected to be slightly larger than the outgoing SLR McLaren, with early estimates giving the Merc a length of roughly 4,650mm, a width of 1,950mm and a height of 1,250mm.

Loads of spy photos of the forthcoming 2010 Mercedes E-Class emerge, with spy shots giving us a fresh look at both the 2010 Mercedes Benz E Class and the 2010 Mercedes E63 AMG. Just like previous spy shots, both the headlights and taillights of the next E-Class remain heavily disguised, but the side contours are almost distinguishable despite the heavier camouflage over both the front and rear wheel arches.
As for the technical specifications of the 2010 Mercedes E63 AMG (internally named the W212 E class), power is expected to be supplied courtesy of the 6.2-Liter AMG V8 featured in the current Mercedes E Class, and 0-62 mph time should remain consistent with the outgoing model (about 4.5 seconds). Completing the package will most likely be the usual array of AMG-tuned goodness, including a high performance braking system, sport suspension system, etc.

A forum member over on VWVortex caught a mildly disguised Nissan 370Z on the freeway, and the two shots shown here give us better glimpse of what to expect when the new Nissan Z debuts in Los Angeles this November.
It’s been widely reported that the upcoming 2010 Nissan 370Z will be shortened by 4 inches and will ride on a slightly widened track, but without a profile shot, it’s hard to tell. The rear three-quarter view shows redesigned rear windows that are slightly smaller, with the bottom edge angling steeply towards the roofline. The rear glass of the hatch is sunken in, and incorporates a small spoiler into the trunk lid, while the fenders appear wider than the outgoing model and the tail lamps are equipped with LEDs.

It looks like McLaren and Mercedes are completing one more variant of their SLR before making their break-up official. This time, the Mercedes McLaren SLR Speedster was recently spotted testing at the Nurburgring, looking fine in its chess board camouflage. But, the super secret next-gen Mercedes SLC is out there too, planning to make both the slow-selling SLR and the Audi R8 obsolete in one fell swoop.
