According to Car and Driver, Mercedes-Benz is officially attempting to restore the legendary Roadster's excellence with the next Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. This reinvention will be showing more of the spirit of the grand tourer for a couple of reasons: to differentiate it from the GT Roadster, and because the SL-Class will replace the S-Class Cabriolet. The next SL-Class, set to debut in 2021, will be completely developed by the Mercedes-AMG Division. Because the next SL-Class will be produced by AMG, it will be much more sporty than the current version. Mercedes-Benz has decided to put AMG® in charge of developing the next SL-Class in order to make sure that it lives up to the expectations set by its sportiest predecessors. The eighth-generation SL-Class, only offered as a Roadster, will be using the same Modular Sports Architecture (MSA) platform as the model that will replace the AMG® GT. This architecture will help engineers make the SL-Class lighter and quicker, despite the added weight that comes along with the hybrid technology that all variants will include.

Mercedes-Benz and Matchbox are collaborating to create a new toy car modeled after Ewy Rosqvist's winning 220SE sedan. This toy will be gifted to first-grade girls to inspire them and shatter gender stereotypes.

Ewy Rosqvist had a passion for car racing and she has made history as being the first female winner alongside Ursula Wirth, her co-driver. She won all six stages at the Argentinian Touring Car Grand Prix in 1962 while setting a record speed of 78 mph and finishing three hours ahead of the competition in the Mercedes-Benz 220SE sedan.

Her parents ran a farm and had five children, Ewy being the only girl. She attended the local school first and then high school in the small nearby town of Ystad.

Competition Automotive Group was founded by championship racecar driver, Joe Buzzetta. Buzzetta became friends with a well-known hot-rod mechanic who owned a repair shop in Smithtown and the two decided to go into business together. They became partners on a car dealership made up of 3,000 square feet of space. In 1970, Buzzetta was prompted to open a dealership, with the idea that he would construct a new building on Jericho Turnpike and upgraded to 8,000 square feet. In his late teens, Buzzetta was working at the auto group as a parts truck driver and worked in almost every job except as a mechanic. In the 1980s Buzzetta and his business partner split their partnership and decided to go their separate ways.Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is an official Mercedes-Benz Dealer located conveniently to better serve our customers in our customers throughout St. James, Nesconset, Hauppauge, and Islandia areas.
