The teaser image doesn't show much about the car except a glimpse of the bonnet, front grille, and windshield. The hood gets Maybach's logo subtly imprinted all across, while the signature Red and Black colour theme is visible. The front grille too carries signature Maybach styling with chrome embellishment and vertically slats along with a Maybach lettering. Apart from these, the image doesn't reveal anything substantial about the car.

The Mercedes-Maybach SL comes as part of the series of Maybach models, as per the German luxury car brand's strategy to overhaul its product portfolio to become the world's most valuable luxury car brand. The automaker plans to put 75 per cent of its investments into bigger and more expensive luxurious vehicles that come with higher profit margins.

Under this strategy, Mercedes-Benz is likely to phase out the compact models. The car brand is aiming to trim down its luxury portfolio from seven to four models. However, the carmaker is yet to confirm which entry-level models will be axed under this revision strategy.
