SCOOPED: Mercedes' 2011 SLK Mans Up And Drops Its Femme Attitude

AutoExpress reports:

THE lid has been lifted on the SLK! Auto Express can bring you the best pictures yet of Mercedes’ all-new drop-top – a sports car which will take the ‘baby SL’ tag to new heights with more powerful engines, sleeker looks and even greater luxury.

Set to make its debut later this year, the SLK will take on Audi’s TT Roadster and BMW’s Z4 when it goes on sale in early 2011. As with the Z4, it will be a two-seater – but whereas the BMW has grown in size, the new third-generation SLK will keep its compact dimensions, helping to retain its agile feel.

With a smart new look that refines the current car’s much loved shape, it will certainly turn heads. The major changes are at the front, where the SLR-style nose has been replaced by a more upright grille, aping that of the SLS. New headlights are joined by LED strips in the lower bumper to add aggression, too...

Looks like this is a rendering to me, so how do you know this isn't the AMG version?

I think whoever did this photoshop used a white BMW M3 as a starting point. The spinning wheels in the 'chop also look like the standard M3 rims when spinning.
