Mercedes-Benz SL
The current generation of the SL grand touring convertible breaks with tradition, as it now focuses more on sportiness. It was developed by AMG, which explains why four of the five available models wear this badge, including a new one for 2026: the SL 63 S E Performance. Also this year, Mercedes-Benz is adding a more luxurious model bearing the Maybach name: the SL 580 Monogram. Overall, output ranges from 416 to 805 horsepower.
