Mercedes Benz originally showed off the Vision Mercedes SLR coupe at the 1999 Detroit Auto Show, followed by the roadster SLR version of the same car in September of that year in Frankfurt. In 2004 a production version of the Mercedes SLR coupe finally arrived courtesy of Mercedes' F1 partner, McLaren. Mercedes has now confirmed that they will finally introduce a open-top version of the Mercedes SLR beginning this summer.
