(from Daimler Press
Release) Dubai (VAE) – The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the
highlight of this year's International Motor Show (IAA) in
Frankfurt/Main, is on display in a stunning gold paint finish at the
Dubai International Motor Show. This matt silk finish with the
designation "AMG Desert Gold" lends an extraordinary aura to the new
super sports car. The show in Dubai is also the premiere of the
special G 55 AMG KOMPRESSOR "Edition 79" model. The Dubai
Inter-national Motor Show is regarded as the most important motor
show in the Middle East, and takes place every two years.
Matt gold on the
aluminium body together with striking highlights in high-gloss black
– an extraordinary and highly attractive combination. With its matt
silk surface, "AMG Desert Gold" further accentuates the sporty
appearance of the Gullwing model. All the decorative and mounted
features that are in shining chrome or Silver Shadow in the standard
SLS AMG have been given a deep-black paint finish by AMG's
designers. Whether for the Mercedes star and the trim strip on the
cross fin at the front, the fins on the bonnet and flanks, the
filler cap or all the model plates: high-gloss black is used
everywhere, ensuring a striking contrast with the matt silk sheen of
the gold paintwork. The black-painted AMG light-alloy wheels in size
9.5 x 19 at the front and 11.0 x 20 at the rear are embellished with
a golden ring on the rim flange.
"AMG Desert Gold" has
currently only been used for the display vehicle at the Dubai
International Motor Show, but given sufficient customer demand, this
special gold paint finish could become available as an individual
optional extra from the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO. Two alluring matt
paint finishes - AMG Monza grey magno" and "designo magno alanite
grey" - are already offered for the SLS AMG. And as a highlight, the
unique "AMG alubeam silver", a finish that makes the paintwork
glisten like liquid metal. At present SLS AMG customers have a
choice of nine attractive paint colours.
Completely black interior, with
plenty of solid carbon-fibre
The interior of the
special SLS AMG model is in uncompromising, sporty black, the AMG
sports bucket seats corresponding with the solid carbon-fibre centre
console and other carbon-fibre interior features. Opening the bonnet
reveals the 420 kW (571 hp) AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine, which is
strikingly framed by the high-quality carbon-fibre engine
compartment cover.
"The premiere of the SLS
AMG in "AMG Desert Gold" at the Dubai International Motor Show is a
token of respect for the Middle East. After the USA, Germany and
Japan, the Gulf region is the fourth-largest market for AMG," says
Volker Mornhinweg, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
