The current generation is of course the most accomplished, most powerful, most refined and most luxurious in the SL’s history. However, the appeal of this type of model is not what it was, and for the future, the company had to change things up.

Mercedes-Benz currently has the model in testing in winter condition in Sweden, and was happy to share images of that today. Things look promising for the eighth-generation model.

Also revealed in the new images of the test model is that for the first time in 20 years, a soft top will be offered.
