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 wîth 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 wîth 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 wîth 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 wîth 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 STÚDIO. 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, wîth plenty of solid carbon-fibre
The interior of the special SLS AMG model is in uncompromising, sporty black, the AMG sports bucket seats corresponding wîth 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 ÚSA, Germany and Japan, the Gulf region is the fourth-largest market for AMG,' says Volker Mornhinweg, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.Source - Mercedes-Benz
