SL55AMG US Interior

In the US training book:
The SL55AMG's interior has a number of distinctive features that contribute to the vehicle's unique character.
AMG instrumentation graces the instrument panel. Silver Dials with red needles create a strikingly sporty color scheme. The Speedometer goes up to 200MPH and the tachometer to 7000 rpm. The Alcantara is used for the roof lining and and on the gearshift lever, making them softer to the touch. The vehicle's sport seats feature a characteristic AMG 5-panel design with their own perforation pattern covering all but the side bolsters. These bolsters offer increased lateral support when cornering. The seats have standard dynamic multicontour backrests with an AMG badge. Interior trim is aluminum, which is finished in a sand-cast effect. Intended to accentuate the exclusivity of the AMG interior, it alludes to the powerful supercharged V-8 under the hood. Door sill panels with the AMG logo complement the aluminum trim. Alcantara on speed and tach cover
