It's hard to believe that the Mercedes SLS AMG has been around since 2011. It wasn't that long ago that we were all waiting in anticipation of the supercar->ke177's debut and now, with the SLS getting its discharge papers, and Mercedes has decided to give the mighty supercar one last hurrah in the form of the SLS AMG GT Final Edition.

Dressed in the same two-tone red and black finish that has become a staple for the SLS->ke2504 AMG, the Final Edition model also carries a number of styling cues that distinguishes itself from the rest of its brethren. It's highly appropriate too, considering that this is the final run of SLS AMG models -- all 350 of them -- so it has to stand out in more ways than one.

The SLS AMG GT Final Edition comes with plenty of new and modified components, including a new carbon-fiber hood and front splitter, a redesigned front bumper, and new brakes. An updated rear wing is also part of the program, as are darkened light surrounds, and carbon-fiber mirror housings.

Performance numbers remain the same, which means that the supercar will receive a 6.3-liter, V-8 engine that produces 591 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to hit 60 mph in a scant 3.7 seconds to go with a top speed of 198 mph.

Like what was said, the Mercedes SLS AMG->ke8 GT Final Edition will only have 350 units built, so if you're looking to scoop one up, you need to be sitting at your local Mercedes dealer the morning it opens the order books.

We're sure there will be much more information to roll out when Mercedes unveils the model in LA, so stay tuned for more updates.
