The suggestion of a four-door Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG model stems from a series of photos filed at a German patent office, later picked up by Autoblog and Motor Authority. The images clearly show a stretched version of the SLS with an extra set of suicide doors to go along with the iconic gullwing doors.
It should also be noted that the documentation accompanying the illustrations apparently went into a fair amount of detail (in German) about weight savings due to the special design of how the doors would be attached and function. With a top-dollar performance car of this nature, a unique solution to the weight problem associated with adding two more doors could be what it takes to make a push towards production.
For now, we file this under "maybe," as we will have to wait and see if any further information leaks from the German automaker before claiming that a four-door SLS AMG is heading to a dealer lot near you.
