SL-Class [Renders] 2021 Mercedes-Benz SL

It’s just not very SL aesthetic though is it?
it’s like an automotive equivalent of R Kelly opening an all girls prep school…
You know that shit is wrong!

Interior is just wonderful I have to say. Best of Benz with the G Wagon

:

MB said the whole time that the next R232 is going back to it´s 300SL roots, then it is rather logical that the next SL will be more sporty oriented(Also being an AMG standalone product this time) than it´s predecessor models.

But ICE vehicles will most likely be taxed into obsolescence in 10-15 years time making them prohibitively expensive to own and drive.

That is already fast becoming a reality where I live. Was playing around with the BMW configurator and specced up similar i4 M50 vs M440i Gran Coupe. The i4 was €80k and the M440i was €104k. You must really want the ICE over electric to pay a €24k premium.

Wow, thank god I live in the US.

I like the last one.

Also I’m going to come out and say it; the front looks very weak compared to the GT coupe/ cab. There is something about the profile and general design elements that do not sit well with me. I suppose if this has come out before the GT did, I’d be all over it. Unfortunately, the GT is just such a compelling product, I’d be hard pressed to choose an SL

Love this shot!
It is a simple classic, old-world design mixed with some of the latest Mercedes AMG themes, nothing is fussy or overly designed. Amazing how it is larger than the last generation.
This will definitely have appeal to the current SL owner. The SL55 and 63 are stepping stones from the last generation.

I got my 2005 SL55 in the US for $125K (actually lower as I got a floor show car), and when I went back to Beijing, it cost $430K after taxes locally.

I'd take a SL55 over any below-GTS model Porsche 911.

Yes, same deal in Hongkong. The government raised the first registration tax on all ICE cars by some 15% (now stands at about 130% of the price a car) and all annual registration renewal fee by about 20%.

Is the rise in frt affecting the sales of the new s class there?

This car is restoring my faith in Mercedes design language.

I hope they keep the soup bar profile to EVs and stick with beutiful 3 box designs.

@Jimmy I'm also loving the side profile of that CLE.

I think so.

 

[PanterroR]

I get some Mustang vibes when looking at the front of this car...

I like this configuration myself. It is a spiritual nod to the legendary W198 II SL Roadster. Pale grey/red leather was a popular choice in the late 1950s'/early 1960s'.

Interesting. On this set of pics the frontlights appear to look way better than on the leaked pics.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.
