PRESS RELEASE
Limited edition model offered in cooperation
with IWC Schaffhausen: SL 63 AMG Edition IWC: Exclusive AMG Roadster with Choice
Interior Appointments and Compelling Technological Features
The AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO has developed a new limited edition vehicle, the
exclusive SL 63 AMG Edition IWC. Limited to a total of 200 units, the new
roadster features an eye-catching designo magno Kashmir white finish as well as
an AMG Exterior Carbon package with a matte surface. In keeping with the
exterior appearance, the vehicle's interior is fitted with Carbon matte trim as
well as Tobago Brown nappa leather upholstery that creates additional visual and
tactile highlights. In addition, the vehicle features the AMG Performance
package to ensure unparalleled handling. All SL 63 AMG Edition IWC vehicles will
be delivered to customers along with an exquisite "Grosser Ingenieur" (Great
Engineer) watch from the renowned Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen.
The SL 63 AMG Edition IWC will be the first vehicle to be offered with the
all-new designo magno Kashmir white finish. An interesting contrast to this
color is formed by the components with a Carbon matte finish: the trailing edge
, the diffusor insert in the lower back panel, and the side air vents on the
front apron. In stylistic sync with these components is the Carbon matte trim on
the center console and the interior door panels.
They are harmoniously augmented by the Tobago Brown nappa leather upholstery on
the electronically adjustable AMG sports seats, which feature multicontour and
memory functions, heating, an AMG-specific perforation pattern, a special
design, and AMG badges. The vehicle's limited edition status is discreetly
emphasized by black AMG floormats with Tobago Brown leather piping, AMG door
sills with white illuminated AMGlettering, and the IWC logo on the lid of the
center console.
To ensure that the driver remains in perfect control of his or her vehicle, the
two-tone AMGPerformance steering wheel has a reduced diameter, a rim that's
flattened at the bottom, and silver-finish aluminum gearshift paddles. The
steering wheel is part of the Performance package, which also includes forged
19-inch AMG light alloy, double-spoke wheels with a titanium gray finish and
polished surfaces. The 8.5-inch and 9.5-inch rims sport 255/35 R 19 and 285/30 R
19 format tires, respectively.
The front axle is equipped with internally ventilated, perforated composite disc
brakes (390 x 36 mm) that keep braking distances to a minimum and ensure the
vehicle is extremely resistant to fading. Handling is further enhanced by other
technical features from the Performance package, including a rear-axle,
multi-disc limited-slip differential with a lock factor of 40 percent, as well
as an AMG Performance chassis equipped with Active Body Control.
AMG naturally aspirated V8 with 6.3 liters
displacement and 386 kW/525 hp
The drive system of the SL 63 AMG Edition IWC will provide motorists with an
exhilarating driving experience. Boasting a top output of 386 kW/525 hp and a
maximum torque of 630 Nm, the AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine is augmented by an
extremely responsive partner in the shape of the all-new AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT
seven-speed sports transmission. The SL 63 AMG Edition IWC accelerates from zero
to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 300
km/h.
Mercedes-AMG and IWC Schaffhausen: A luxurious
partnership
Along with the vehicle, buyers of the SL 63 AMG Edition IWC will also receive a
limited edition model of IWC's "Grosser Ingenieur" watch. This precious
chronometer has a stainless steel housing measuring an impressive 45.5
millimeters in diameter. The design of the watch's wristband and face compliment
the vehicle concept. In addition, the watch's bottom is made of sapphire glass
that reveals the intricate mechanical clockwork with its automatic Pellaton
winding system.
Mercedes-AMG has been collaborating with the time-honored Swiss watch
manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen since 2004. In October of that year, the two
companies presented their first jointly designed vehicle, the CLS 55 AMG "IWC
Engineer."
Customers will be able to order the SL 63 AMG Edition IWC beginning in fall 2008
, and vehicle deliveries will commence in November 2008. The model will be
limited to 200 units.
