The SL boasts a storied and renowned history. Originally introduced as a coupe, the first SL became one of Mercedes-Benz’s most celebrated racing cars, achieving legendary status. Subsequent iterations continued this tradition, offering a series of luxurious two-seat convertibles that blended sporting excellence with opulent luxury. However, this fusion started to wane as Mercedes-Benz introduced more exotic two-passenger vehicles like the AMG GT Roadster coupe. Now, Mercedes is revitalizing the iconic SL with an entirely new version, purposefully crafted to conquer winding mountain roads while still making a statement on Rodeo Drive. Building upon the classic formula, the new SL introduces all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering.

The Mercedes-AMG SL has Porsche’s equally renowned 911 Cabriolet in its sights, setting the stage for an iconic rivalry. Competing against other high-performance contenders such as the BMW M8 Competition Convertible and the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, the all-new Mercedes-AMG SL has made some changes, including the addition of petite rear seats and a switch from a retractable hardtop to a folding fabric roof. Nevertheless, it retains its reputation as a breathtaking convertible, thanks to its electrifying performance and sumptuous interior.
