This year marks the AMG brand's 45th birthday and to commemorate the milestone at the New York Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz introduced a special anniversary edition of the V12-powered SL 65 AMG roadster, of which only 45 will be produced worldwide with first deliveries in the U.S. planned for November. What makes the SL 65 AMG "45th ANNIVERSARY" stand out from its lesser sibling is a host of bespoke features and parts starting with the unique matte grey finish called "designo magno graphite".
The exterior package continues with a carbon fiber kit that includes the cross strut in the front apron, the exterior mirrors and the spoiler lip, while the engine cover is also made from the same material.
The look is rounded out by the black chrome plating of the quad tailpipes and the special forged wheels painted in titanium grey with high-sheen rim flange and matt finish that are shod in tires size 255/35 R 19 at the front and 285/30 R 20 at the rear.
There's more going on inside where AMG designers fitted the top SL with a two-tone leather interior in titanium grey pearl and ginger beige. The center sections of the seats, door panels and roof lining feature a diamond pattern theme, while other highlights include the matt carbon fibre trim and the "45th Anniversary" badge on the ashtray.
The special edition version of the SL comes with an extensive range of standard-fit appointments including but not limited to, the Driving Assistance package Plus, AMG ceramic high-performance compound brake system and a higher end audio system.
Power is provided by the same 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine with 621hp (630PS) and a peak torque of 1,000Nm (737 lb-ft) that you'll find under the hood of the regular SL 65 AMG.
