This thread is a bit late to the party. It was revealed in Monaco back in May. It's the first model under the new Mythos brand, limited to 250. Like the Ferrari Monza it won't come to North America as not having a windshield is illegal.

but.... Isn't Mythos supposed to be an ultra luxury brand on top of Maybach? How come there is a sporty car in the lineup?
​​​​​​More videos are out today.

No, Mythos is supposed to be ultra exclusive. Think limited edition, ultra expensive, collector cars.

Oh ya true, MB had this idea first. Maybe MB saw McLaren made it a trend, so they brought it back.

Same with the broken shoulder lines on the W214 side, people thought MB got it from audi but it was actually from MB's 300 SL.

With so many of these extra special, ultra low production models, wealthy collectors often squirrel them away. You see them hitting the auctions years later, showing less than 100 miles on the odometer. I wonder, with all the horrible, electronic gremlins infecting regular production, late model MB’s, how such limited use examples will fare?

I wonder if these are meant to be collectibles and just stored in a museum or something and not be driven?
