Announced today - I will keep editorial comments about the color to myself:
"The Mercedes-AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Big Sur also marks the launch of the MANUFAKTUR program in the U.S for the wider AMG SL model range. Beginning with the 2024 AMG SL, U.S. customers will have a greater level of individualization with the introduction of three new MANUFAKTUR paints and two MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather upholsteries."
This is great to see. The added level of personalization is exactly what they need in their bid to go upmarket. I’m sure this won’t be cheap to get done but goes a long way in helping them steal from Porsche’s client base. I’m sure it won’t be to the same extent, but every little bit helps!

Yes, Ola wants MB to compete with Porsche, not compete with BMW and Audi...
Personalization and QC are the ways to go, not the all-electric offensive and the 4-cylinder 63s
I think it's about time MB is offering a greater variety of interior and exterior colors along with other options. I'm pretty sure I'm going to order a SL63e(or whatever the hybrid assist is called) and I want a white exterior and interior with a BLUE soft top. Apparently a BLUE soft top is an upcharge!!!!! Is blue more valuable than black or red?? Is the word "MANUFAKTUR" code for additional cash extrication for zero reason??
Yeah well, all this hoorah about Munufactur this and that is bull. Ordered a well dressed SL and supposed to be built end of September. Now advised quilted premium Manufactur upholstery delayed for all colors. New production late February. Everything is wonderful except it’s not available. Oh, and yes, the blue tops are dyed with unicorn sweat so that’s the reason for up charge. Geez!
Now that I'm aware that blue tops are derived from the exceedingly rare(expensive) blue unicorn sweat, I'm ok with the upcharge because the rare blue sweat unicorns are endangered.
Ordered for an initial September build and now a potential late February??? Is MB trying to kill the SL off?? Marketing and engineering geniuses!!

Don't worry they will push it as an OTA
/s
Edit: Well, jokes aside yes since they offered all these options it would be nice that they actually make it available. I mean I am glad there are now more colour options now, hopefully these special colour production can catch up soon.
