Details on the new model are scarce but the SLS Final Edition is likely to receive subtle exterior modifications such as a carbonfibre body kit, revised air intakes and vents.
Power is expected to come from the same 6.2-litre V8 found in the regular Mercedes SLS AMG but a modest performance boost from the standard 591bhp output is a possibility.
Prices are yet to be announced but a slight premium over the standard £165,000 price tag is likely. Production is also expected to be in limited numbers.
