Oops my bad I thought this is your car. Anyways, I still envy whoever owns that beautiful car.
No one owns one just yet, these photos were taken at AMG headquarters in Affalterbach. That being said I'm definitely eager to get behind the wheel, already on my dealer's list to test drive one of the first couple units they get in stock.

Definitely will do, I love to post in-depth reviews of new cars on here. I have a feeling that the new SL will be an excellent GT based on all I've been hearing online. My salesman was lucky enough to get to drive one on both the road and track at a Mercedes Product Training event and he was very happy with the new SL.

The interior looks gorgeous. Annoying that all the physical buttons are gone.

Mercedes putting out a great looking car. Meanwhile BMW is making new SUVs that look like my 4 year old son made.

Wow, MB has another stunning car.

MB aesthetics are the best IMO, for a non-exotic brand. Better than Porsche, BMW, and the American and Japanese brands.

Mercedes Confirms New Maybach SL and SL Speedster Currently In Development

Mercedes Launches Exclusive Mythos Brand As It Reduces Entry-Level Range To Focus On Top-End Luxury
Quote:
Originally Posted by Carscoops
Mercedes has unveiled a new business plan that will place a renewed focus and channel over 75 percent of its investment on high-end luxury models to increase profitability by 60 percent from 2019 to 2026 at the expense of its entry-level lineup that will be drastically cut down.

The brand’s revamped product portfolio will consist of so-called Entry Luxury, Core Luxury and Top-End Luxury models, while Mercedes will also introduce a highly-exclusive line of limited production collector cars under the newly announced ‘Mythos’ series that will join the Maybach, AMG, G Class and EQ sub-brands.

Vehicles from this exclusive Mythos range will be produced in “selected numbers” and will be made available to “the most dedicated enthusiasts and collectors of Mercedes-Benz” meaning you’ll probably have a hard time placing your order. As teased in the video presentation, the first model from the Mythos Series will be an SL Speedster.

In the same context, Mercedes will expand the limited edition specials and exclusive collaboration vehicles like the recently-revealed Maybach by Virgil Abloh and the upcoming Haute Voiture Maybach S-Class. The Maybach range will grow beyond the S-Class and its bespoke derivatives not only with the fully electric Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV that was previewed in concept form last year, but also with the Mercedes-Maybach SL roadster.

MB has done to their interiors what BMW has done to their exteriors. They've never had good interiors, but they're awful right now.

This interior looks markedly better than an iPad screen(s) bolted onto the dash as an afterthought, e.g BMW.

But the exterior looks phenomenal.

Meh….I assume the new SL is smaller than like the 230, etc? I don't like it all. Looks basically like the size of SLK. Loved the 129 and 230 (had several 230 models when they came out). The last one was kind of blah and this one is worse. Shame….
