the porsche names carrera panamera come from the races across mexico which porsche and mercedes compete, in the 50s. The 300SL seemed to be the inspiration for the grille, and it had the same bars on the windshield for bird protection.
So they took the single bar with star off the grille of the 300SL 53 up and now the vertical bars off the 52 SL300

Not to be peckish, but what I was referring to is the name/word “Panamera” is a trademarked, recently made up word by Porsche for their vehicle. The historic race to which you are referring was the “Carrera PANAMERICA”. Mercedes refers to the grill in question only as the PANAMERICA grill, not Panamera.

To be clear, the current Mercedes-Benz grill with vertical slats is "Panamericana."

There is a way to do it. You have to change the entire front bumper with an S63 Panamericana grill. There is a body shop in Los Angeles called RDB LA who did it on a ‘16 S550 Coupe.
here’s a link to it but start at minute 6:36

I need that bumper and grill in my life! Has anyone done it on the forums yet? That video wasn't super helpful. I'm curious if it's just a bumper and grill swap.

Here you can buy the full (OEM) conversion kit: https://mercteil.com/en/products/amg...-facelift-2018 (Euro 8K)
Also available on eBay I see: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Mercede...-/153105798731 (US$ 12K, so seems more expensive)

AMG:
Absolutely, you'll be able to get a bumper online painted, and an aftermarket knockoff grille for much less. $12K my ***. I'm sure the big money folks on the forum might scoff at it, but a bumper is a bumper and a grille is a grille.
