But don't worry, you don't have to wait extremely long. The unveiling of the new Mercedes SL will follow soon.
The Mercedes-Benz is one of Das Haus' most iconic models. In that respect it is strange that we had to do without the Sport Leicht for a while. The last generation (R231 for intimates) was removed from the range in 2020.
The AMG GT did not really serve as a successor. After all, both models were delivered side by side for a long time. However, the AMG GT Roadster made the SL more or less redundant.
Unveiling new Mercedes SL
Fortunately, a new SL is planned. This should replace the old SL and the AMG GT. That model will soon be out of production. But isn't it time to pull the curtain on the SL? Of course! Mercedes had planned to unveil the model to the wider world on October 20. Exactly, that's in three days.
However, for unknown reasons, this is not happening. That reports Carscoops. The unveiling is now scheduled for October 28, 8 whole days later. The chance that a completely new nose will be added or other engines have been added to the delivery program seems unlikely to us.
More practical
The arrival of a new Mercedes SL is very special for us car enthusiasts. First, the car was developed by AMG, just like the SLS and GT. In addition, the car is clearly not a crossover. We think that's refreshing.
The new SL will be slightly more practical with a small rear seat. A few more things that will make the purist happy: there are ‘real’ engines in and the once revolutionary Vario roof is replaced by a fabric hood. Colleague @RubenPriest was able to leave the interior to you a few months ago. Incidentally, the factory code is also known: R232. In short, it's almost time!
