Mercedes-Benz SL Mythos Series due out in 2025

Mercedes-Benz outlined plans to launch an ultra-luxurious range of Mythos-branded models in 2022. We haven't heard much about the lineup since, but the brand clarified that development work is ongoing. We won't have to wait for very long to see the first Mythos-badged car.

The announcement was made during a presentation that outlined Mercedes-Benz's 2023 results for investors. The brand laid out four basic goals for what it calls its most demanding customers: the extension of the Manufaktur personalization program, a collaboration with fashion company Moncler, a limited-edition Maybach designed jointly with Virgil Abloh, and the first car in the Mythos series. It's due out in 2025.

While specific details weren't provided, it looks like the first Mythos car will be an evolution of the new SL. Mercedes-Benz has previously described the Mythos range as a series of "ultra-exclusive collector cars" that will be built in limited numbers; it's for those who find Maybach not luxurious enough. If that's what you're looking for, you may not be able to buy one even if you can afford it; the brand has also noted that these cars will be reserved for "the most dedicated enthusiasts and collectors," suggesting only select customers will be invited to buy one.
