In a bold move in the world of luxury motoring, Mercedes-Benz is set to debut its Mythos brand of ultra-exclusive vehicles, beginning with the much-anticipated SL Speedster, slated for release in 2025. This announcement comes after Mercedes teased plans for the Mythos line back in 2022, and now, it’s finally coming to fruition.
The flagship SL Speedster, adorned with distinctive nacelles behind the seats, is poised to elevate the iconic roadster to unprecedented levels of opulence. While the current SL generation is exclusively sold under the AMG badge, a lavish Maybach variant is also on the horizon, promising an even more indulgent driving experience.
With Mercedes Chief Designer Gordon Wagener hinting at a Concept Mercedes-Maybach SL in 2022, adorned with lavish Maybach branding and exquisite detailing, expectations for the Mythos-branded models are soaring. Anticipate pricing to reflect the uncompromising luxury, with estimates suggesting figures well beyond the $300,000 mark.
Described as a dedicated sub-brand for “highly exclusive collectible cars,” Mythos vehicles will be crafted in limited numbers, catering to the most discerning enthusiasts and collectors. Positioned to rival the likes of Bentley, Aston Martin, and even esteemed marques like Ferrari and McLaren, Mythos signals Mercedes’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of luxury and craftsmanship.
In a landscape where luxury knows no bounds, Mercedes‘ Mythos venture represents a strategic move to cater to an elite clientele seeking the pinnacle of automotive refinement. With archrivals BMW and Volkswagen Group also expanding their luxury portfolios, the stage is set for a new era of ultra-luxury motoring, where exclusivity reigns supreme and the boundaries of opulence are constantly redefined.
