Not sure if any of you have heard about this, but here's a sneak peek.

2009 SL63 IWC edition: Only 63 units are destined for the U.S.
Exterior Highlights:
• designo Magno Cashmere White Exterior Paint (Matte Finish) – For the first time
ever a matte finish has ever been applied to a production Mercedes-Benz. This finish,
usually reserved for show cars and design studies, features a matte clearcoat process
unique to SL63 AMG Edition IWC.
• AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber Package (Matte Finish) – To further set off the unique
appearance of this model the rear-apron diffuser, spoiler lip, and front-apron side air
outlets are made from motorsport-derived Carbon Fiber in matte finish.
• 19” AMG Twin 5-Spoke Forged Light-Alloy Wheels – Lightweight and high-strength
with an aggressive design perfectly suited to the SL63 AMG.

Interior Highlights:
• AMG Tobago Brown Premium Leather Interior Upholstery – Paired with black in this
application, this deep shade of brown has been selected exclusively for this special
model.
• AMG Carbon Fiber Interior Trim (Matte Finish)
• AMG Reduced-Diameter Performance Steering Wheel in Two-Tone Finish
• AMG White Illuminated Door Sills
• AMG Floor Mats in Two-Tone Finish

Additional standard equipment for this model includes the Premium 1 Package (Active Ventilated

Internation Watch Company (IWC) partnering with Benz on the SL model is a good idea; the result is exquisite.

Especially the seats: superb!

2013 G63 AMG
i saw one today on a truck.
so i went to the benz dealer and then went to check it out with my salesman

it has to be the most amazing SL in the world.

matt pearl white finish
carbon fiber lip spoiler, carbon fiber diffuser, carbon interior trim

and all the carbon is in a matte finish .. so no gloss.

it looks amazing.

i have crappy iphone pics i will post soon
