The 6th-generation Mercedes SL roadster is due to undergo its mid-cycle changeover in 2016 (possibly as a 2017MY) and we caught one of the first prototypes out on the road.

Apparently, this is an early test mule with the only difference being the headlamps that don’t even fit or match the front end of the prototype. For what it’s worth at this point, they do look similar in style to the ones used on the S-Class Coupe.

The picture will become clearer in the coming months when Mercedes-Benz will start rolling out more developed testers with actual production parts.

Besides the exterior makeover, the Stuttgart firm should proceed to changes in the interior of its hardtop convertible model, while also updating the SL’s powertrains.
