Although the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class will make its debut in January at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, it appears that someone found the official brochure of the car, as the first photos emerged on the web today. As you can see from the images, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL is inspired by the 2012 SLK but it appears that things don’t stop here, as the interior follows the same design line as the exterior.
