Maybach SL680

2025

The Mercedes-Benz SL (R232) is the seventh generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class roadster, succeeding the R231 model. Introduced on 28 October 2021, the R232 serves as a direct replacement for the GT Roadster. It was exclusively marketed under the Mercedes-AMG brand until the introduction of the Mercedes-Maybach SL in August 2024.

The R232 has several departures from its previous SL-Class predecessors, one of which is the design of the convertible roof. AMG switched from a folding metal roof to a fabric-lined roof that utilizes electric motors compared to hydraulics which reduces the weight of the car by 21 kg (46 lb). This was done to lower the center of gravity for improved handling. The R232 is also fitted with the fourth generation of Mercedes all-wheel-drive system, 4Matic, and rear-axle steering.
