The new Mercedes-Maybach SL convertible sports car delivers an unprecedented sensory experience. The illuminated Maybach vertical grille and the “MAYBACH” lettering create a striking front design. The prominent three-pointed star emblem and the chrome “spine” on the hood highlight the brand’s unique appearance and convey a sense of harmony and grandeur. The obsidian black hood can feature a custom graphite gray Maybach emblem, showcasing Mercedes-Maybach’s exceptional creativity and craftsmanship. This intricate process requires some steps to be done by hand. First, technicians spray a base coat on the hood and meticulously polish it. Then, they print the Maybach emblem on the base coat. Next, they apply a layer of matte clear coat and hand polish it again, followed by another layer of matte clear coat. This detailed process demands the highest standards from artisans, reflecting Mercedes-Maybach’s commitment to quality.
The front headlights feature high-quality rose gold accents. These details enhance the overall elegance. The custom front splitter pairs with the air intake, emphasizing the car’s visual width.

They outline the charming silhouette of this two-seat convertible sports car. With the top down, it radiates a captivating allure.
