We’ve known Mercedes-Benz has had a world-beater in the works since at least early 2004 when we blew the lid off plans for the McLaren-Mercedes P8 supercar. Now it appears the company has shifted gears once more, heading in the direction of remaking a modern-day version of the classic 300 SL Gullwing.

The car is expected to go into production by 2009 or 2010, powered by an AMG biturbo 6.3-liter V8, pushing up to 750 hp
