Mercedes Benz, which hopes to expand to the high-end market, announced on Thursday that it plans to reduce the number of entry-level models offered by the brand and launch higher sales and higher profit high-end models. Part of the plan will be to expand the Maybach model range, which will build an ultra luxury version of the new SL sports car.
This is an interesting move because the seventh generation SL is designed, developed and engineered by Mercedes AMG performance department. Its brand is Mercedes AMG rather than Mercedes Benz. In addition to announcing the launch of the Mercedes Maybach SL, there were few details about the car, but Mercedes shared two preview diagrams.
Maybach SL will be the first SL with upright Trident hood decoration in history, which is very interesting to see in modern sports cars. In addition, it will also adopt a large chrome plated Maybach waterfall grille, a unique bumper design with more chrome decoration, and a two-color scheme of black hood with repeated Maybach logo pattern. In addition to what can be seen in the picture, it is expected that there will be different wheels, additional chrome decoration of the body, new rear bumper and other minor adjustments.
In addition, Mercedes also announced a new mythos branch, which will create ultra limited and highly ideal vehicles based on existing models, which is similar to the practice of competitive luxury brands. It is reported that the first one will be the accelerated version of SL, and the design director Gordon Wagener gave a preview of its outline. It seems that the inspiration of each mythos car may come from different models of Mercedes Benz in the past.
