Mercedes-AMG Teaser Promises "New Star" Coming Soon For The SL-Class

Something new with the Mercedes-AMG SL-Class is coming soon. But wait a second ... isn't the current SL-Class already new? Indeed it is, having debuted less than a year ago to considerable fanfare for its smooth styling and twin-turbocharged V8 power. However, it's only offered with a boosted V8. That might be changing, and it might lead to a new flagship model. Maybe.

This speculation stems from a teaser photo recently shared by Mercedes-AMG on social media. We're treated to a close-up view of an SL Class taillight, with AMG badging clearly visible. There's nothing extraordinary here, no signs of design tweaks, though the shade of blue is quite striking. Rather, it's what Mercedes says in its post that deserves a bit of scrutiny. On Facebook, the automaker specifically states a "new star of the Mercedes-AMG SL family is about to be released." The post also offers this curious hashtag: #TheStarIsReborn.
