Well according to these guys this is the next gen AMG, great to hear the engine will be a naturally aspirated v8 monster! got the story from here Spied: 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
If you watched the Canadian Grand Prix , during one of the wrecks or rain delays there was a few second shot of a dark SL with all new front lights and front bumper. Simular to a AMG Saftey car, Im pretty sure this was a new SL. The car will still be called a SL63 model but it will have the 5.5 BiTurbo and Supercharged engine. Look at the new CLS

I think it sucks to call it a 63 when it's a 55. I thought the trend was more towards understatement/downsizing.

'22 Alpina B7,'21 G63 Renntech obviously (wife), Wrangler(kids)
The new line-up for the US market:
SL550 with 4.6 TT V8,
SL63 with 5.5 TT V8,
SL65 with 6.0 TT V12
Nothing surprising,SL65 has the carry over V12,boosted by additional 30hp,both SL550 and SL 63 just getting the new engines similarly to the sedans that got them this year.

No naturally aspirated V8s for the SL, I am afraid. SLK, yes.
