Its smaller sibling, the SLC, may have been sacrificed for the sake of chasing after the booming crossover segments, but the SL lives on for yet another generation. Meet the brand-new 2022 model, which was developed by Mercedes-AMG.
As with most important automotive releases for the past few years, the 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL has been leaked before its official unveiling, albeit in a few low-resolution photos of its patented design.
The open-top variants of the Porsche 911 are bound to get some serious competition from Mercedes-AMG, which is currently putting the final touches on the new-generation SL. The roadster is scheduled to premiere next week, on October 28, though before that happens, the automaker’s engineers continue the road-testing and fine-tuning phase.

For those who have been living under a rock that hasn’t been magically bestowed with Wi-Fi, the upcoming SL will be the third model lineup to only sport the Mercedes-AMG moniker after the GT and the GT Four-door Coupe, or fourth if you also include the now defunct SLS AMG.
That being said, the 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL is being developed exclusively by AMG and will share its underpinnings with the second-generation GT, which is expected to be a 2-seat, much sportier version of the SL, and will come in both roadster and coupe form, just like the current one.
