The recently unveiled SLS AMG will stand as the basis for developing new, smaller supercars. The underpinnings of the modern Gullwing will find their way onto a new sports car, probably dubbed 'SSK AMG'. Apart from borrowing its name from the legendary Mercedes-Benz SSK models of the 1920s, the little brother of the SLS AMG will not be sporting the top-mounted doors;instead, it will go for conventional, front-hinged ones. Moreover, the beast under the hood of the SSK will be represented by the new AMG 5,5 litres V8 twin-turbo unit, currently in the development stage and capable of producing well over 500 BHP. Mercedes-Benz might launch the SSK AMG model in 2014.
