Mercedes-Benz is poised to redefine luxury motoring with the upcoming debut of the Mercedes-Maybach SL at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Leaked images hint at a dramatic departure from the sportier SL, as Maybach’s signature opulence takes center stage.
The roadster’s exterior is expected to showcase a bold and imposing presence, characterized by a redesigned front fascia, intricate hood details, and exclusive multi-spoke wheels. Lavish chrome accents and Maybach’s hallmark attention to detail will undoubtedly raise the car’s visual appeal to new heights.
Inside, the Maybach SL promises an unparalleled level of luxury and comfort, with exquisite materials, cutting-edge technology, and an ambiance of refined sophistication.
As the world eagerly anticipates the official revelation, the Mercedes-Maybach SL is already generating immense excitement and is set to become a benchmark for open-top opulence.
The leaked image of the Maybach SL’s digital instrument cluster offers intriguing clues. Its Maybach-specific graphics and use of kilometers per hour instead of miles per hour are clear indicators of the model’s European lineage.
Given Mercedes’ acquisition of Maybach in 1960 and its subsequent revival as a standalone brand, this detail aligns with the model’s heritage.
The cluster’s 280 kph maximum speed equates to 174 mph, placing it below the flagship AMG SL 63 S E PERFORMANCE’s 315 kph (196 mph) top speed. Sharing the AMG Modular Sport Architecture with the AMG GT, the SL platform is currently limited to V8 and I4 engines, dashing hopes of a V12-powered Maybach SL. While the Maybach S 680 4MATIC boasts a potent V12, the SL 63 S E PERFORMANCE’s superior power output makes such an engine swap unlikely.
