As reported earlier this week, Mercedes-Benz is working on a convertible version of the SLS AMG due out mid-2011. The folks at Auto Motor und Sport managed to catch a prototype testing near their headquarters. Check out the video after the jump.

Refresher: Power comes from a 6.2L V8 making 563-hp with a maximum torque of 479 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an E-SELECT system that controls the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission, the SLS AMG can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds (with the Race Start launch control system) with a top speed of 196 mph.
