Here is what I am talking about. The first 1st and 3rd picture show a different style seat and a red combination not offered here. Also the 3rd picture shows another interior not offered.
Thank you all for the help, it is getting me closer to decision.
To Shahul, yes it is that rather small secret room. I guess that MBUSA to simplify ordering and keep low prices selected only 1/2 dozen options according to the MBUSA rep wife's taste. I have seen there hundreds of beautiful combinations. Also I would like to know if there are other seat options. The GTC seat that I tried felt really tight (I have a fat ***), my SL seat is really comfortable. I would also prefer a wood-leather combination on the steering wheel. I guess the issue is finding the 3 digit code for all options to feed it to the dealer. So I need to find the email of the guy from that room in Affalterbach. I am also with the majority of opinions here that a softer highway suspension is preferred.
There is a way to cut out about 1/2 the stiffness on the GT. Run 40’s all around. I was in a NC car with Pirelli AS tires and it was downright plush.
Alot of guys might say it’s just not right, but it works. And I did see a Ferrari California with 40s the other day. Not for me but makes it more of a GT.

Those seats look very comfortable! I have never seen them in any GT in the USA though. Has anyone else?
I used to wonder why these seats weren't available. The GT is based on the SLS and the SLS had these kind of seats, so I used to wonder why these weren't an option.
I am happy with my competition seats in my GT.
I decided not to get comp seats on my daily driver amg so I could have choices.
AMG did a GT R in a beautiful purple that is headed to Dubai. You can get any current or heritage Mercedes color on the cars built on the Sindelfingen line, if I'm not mistaken.

would you be able to find a post a pic of that GTR in purple sounds amazing.
Xbox, I get it from your posts that you have the red interior. I too have red interior with grey exterior on my '67 250SE and it is just unique.
Uhlenhaut, I've been told by the people in Affalterbach that you can get the car in any combination. I found some of the option codes on the Australian website.

Not crazy about that color. Is that a GTR in Solarbeam in front of it? I️ haven’t seen any good pics of a GTR in Yellow. Not sure if that color suits the GTR.

Not a great shot, but you can see that this shade is different from the Galacticbeam Purple they offer on the G-Wagen. I imagine this thing looks epic in direct sunlight.
Here's a shot of Mauritius Blue on an S63. Not offered on the configurator but proof that you can spec any color off their current palette (I believe this is a G-Class color).
This looks like an old 300SL color called Ice Blue. Mercedes used to do some beautiful shades of blue and green. If MBUSA is reading this thread, please bring back that level of individualization -- paints, upholstery, stitching, wheel colors, carbon accessories, etc.
