Limited edition 45th Anniversary SL65 AMG V12 roadster celebrates almost half a century of uncompromising power and design.
Founded in 1967 by Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, AMG has established itself as a world-class producer of exclusive high-performance Mercedes-Benz automobiles.
Mercedes-Benz’ SL65 V12 roadster already delivers an exclusive combination of stunning design and equipment features. However, the special 45th anniversary model - limited to just 45 units worldwide – is truly in a class by itself. Electronically limited at 186 mph, the roadster can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds! To mark its 40th birthday, AMG introduced a 40-unit limited edition CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition in 2007. Today they are still coveted as desirable collector items.The same is expected for the 45th anniversary model.
“To celebrate the 45th birthday of AMG, we are presenting a very special anniversary model limited to 45 units in the shape of the SL65 AMG 45th ANNIVERSARY. The refined V12 roadster with exclusive equipment is the perfect embodiment of our brand claim, Driving Performance, said Ola Källenius, Managing Director of Mercedes-AMG GmbH at the New York International Auto Show this week.
Designers have created a new paint finish exclusively for the aluminum-bodied 45th ANNIVERSARY SL65 called Designo Magno Graphite. With its silk-matte finish, the gray color reaffirms the powerful character of the refined V12 roadster. Stunning contrast is set by carefully selected applications in polished chrome. Included are the new twin-blade grille with two blade-like fins, the surrounds of the AMG LED daytime running lights and the side fins on the fenders and hood.
Reserved exclusively for the limited production AMG SL65 is the Exterior Carbon Package in matte finish. The horizontal bar in the front skirt, exterior mirrors and the spoiler lip are made from genuine carbon fiber with a silk-matte finish. The AMG 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine has the same look with a matte carbon and aluminum engine cover. The ANNIVERSARY SL rides on AMG forged multi-spoke wheels painted matte titanium grey with polished rims and are shod with tires from the AMG Performance Studio: 255/35 R 19 (front) and 285/30 R 20 (rear).
Inside the special SL65 AMG is an exclusive interior featuring Designo Magno Graphite paintwork complimenting STYLE Exclusive Designo leather in titanium grey pearl/ginger beige. The sumptuous diamond-stitched upholstery with AMG V12 graphics graces the electrically adjustable AMG sports seats, and the door panels.
The AMG performance steering wheel sports an AMG logo on its lower metal spoke and offers a two-tone grip in titanium grey pearl/ginger beige. In keeping with the matte-finish Exterior Carbon Package, there’s carbon matte AMG trim. A plate with the “45th ANNIVERSARY – 1 OF 45” logo documents the exclusive character of this very special car.
The 621-horsepower bi-turbo SL65 AMG 45th ANNIVERSARY roadster will be available in the U.S. in November 2012. For more information about the latest AMG high-performance luxury vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, please visit, http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/innovation/amg
