Mercedes-Benz is preparing a new version of the SL, which will appear in 2027 and will be more affordable than the current AMG and Maybach variants.
As reported by Auto Bild, the company's chief executive, Ola Källenius, personally arrived at an industry event in Berlin in a camouflaged prototype.
The new convertible will officially be called the Mercedes-Benz SL and will not belong to AMG or Maybach. According to Källenius, the car will retain its sporty character but will become calmer and more comfortable.
The prototype has its own radiator grille, a simplified front bumper and a new daytime running light design with the signature "stars" in the headlights.
Details of the powertrain have not yet been disclosed. The premiere of the new SL is scheduled for 2027.
At the same time, Mercedes-Benz is preparing an update to the entire SL family, including changes to the engine line-up.
