SLS AMG's Production End Almost Confirmed by Ola Kallenius

A few weeks ago we we're telling you about a rather trustable rumor surrounding the end of production for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
Today, that rumor became even more trustable, after the Aussies from Motoring published parts of an interview they conduced with soon-to-be ex-boss of AMG, Ola Kallenius.

In the original report, we were saying that the “regular” version of the modern “Flügeltürer” (Gullwing in German) will stop being manufactured as early as January 2014, with the GT and Black Series versions to be made until June 2014.

When asked how much longer will the SLS AMG be manufactured, Kallenius casually avoided a direct answer, but somehow let it slip that our original report may be true:

“We haven’t said yet - we will say soon. But if you want to buy one strike now!” he told Motoring, and that pretty much sounds like a confirmation if you ask us.

Not only that, but he also said that the replacement for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG won't come right after it, which pretty much says that the next three-pointed star supercar will not be the C190 “GT”, but an entirely new model that is yet to have started development.
