The Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLS will be the next car that the two companies will have created when the SLR finishes production in 2008. The SLS is intended to be on sale by atleast 2010, however rumours are speculating we could see the SLS by as early as 2008 in a joint launch with the production version of the Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive Concept Vehicle

Mercedes and McLaren are planning / hoping to sell as many as 2000 "SLS" sports cars a year to rival the likes of the Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo and the V10 version of Audi's R8, according to the insiders at Brenda Priddy & Company. Although McLaren engineers are remaining tight-lipped about the project, sources say feasibility studies are currently being carried out on the car at one of Mercedes’ secret test centers in Germany and pre-production chassis tests in Woking, Surrey.
