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

Especially the seats: superb!

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.
