Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

It appears to be the AMG grill. The traditional Mercedes grill with the logo on the hood needs to be offered as an option on the S63 IMO.

Good chance this facelift is using the new flat-plane V8. AMG is saying thay are going to push its power beyond the limits of the GT Balck Series.
It would be great if they could ditch the heavy P3 hybrid system and adopt the lighter axial flux motors from the new GT.

With Aston Martin already crossing the 800-hp mark, it’s no surprise Mercedes-AMG is promising more power from its next V-8. Without revealing specifics, AMG Director of Vehicle Development Steffen Jastrow told Auto Express the upcoming eight-cylinder mill will pack a greater punch than what the Black Series had. Engineers in Affalterbach have already "defined power in a range, and the upper limit is, of course, higher than what we know today."

Mercedes Is Making a New V-8 That Could Be Even More Powerful Than the Last

Mercedes-AMG is working on a new V-8 engine that will provide the best of both worlds: higher output and better fuel economy.

I think they will probably upgrade the P3 system with the new YASA motors and lighter NMC batteries, rather than just get rid of the P3 system entirely. Maybe upgrade the P3 set up to an 800V system or something.

Who knows.
I don't think the facelift S will be the one to pioneer it though. They might start doing it with the performance cars like the GT/SL63 E performance.

Possible, although more subtle, clues that lurk under the camo ?:

Not a stringently truncated Kamm tail-but rather a somewhat more rounded solution.

Hood ventilation outlets.

No overdone front fender air vents.

Will it be the exterior design "tour de force" initially anticipated ? That will almost certainly depend on how it is configurated.

I dunno, that pug nose is still there. All I know is that it's time to see it and the new GLC EV and the some others like the GLE facelift. Hopefully next week brings a few important debuts. It's time to get on with it, if it is really is the biggest product offensive ever. From what I can think of, and seeing that graph, we have:

4-Door EV GT
AMG GT Track Sport - Next week?
GLE FL
GLS FL
C EV
E EV
GLC EV
S FL
E63
CLE63
CLA - more variants
C FL
GLC FL
SL FL hoping this includes a SL53 replacing the SL43
VLE - ?

The future mainstays on M-B's menu will be the C EV, E EV, GLC EV, GLE EV, CLA + additional MMA vehicles. Should they fail in commercial terms, Mercedes-Benz AG will be on the threshold of a whole new "world of pain". These vehicles are not only "Ola's Last Chance". All else are sundries, relatively speaking.

I hope the GLC EV will bring in a new styling direction that will make everyone sit up and take notice. I wish that this model and upcoming C EV, E EV and upcoming MMA cars will bring success to the brand. With BMW bringing the adventurous NK models they will need all the luck they need.

Only one week left and no leaks

I’d temper your expectations. Remember the electric GLC and C-class were designed quite some time ago and the new grille was placed on the car after the fact. They weren’t designed to resemble the earlier EQ cars but also weren’t designed during this new effort to be aligned with the ICE vehicles either. They look good though, imo.

The E-class EV will be the first electric Mercedes designed in the way of a classic Mercedes despite being electric.
