2024 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Big Sur: Luxury Meets Pacific Sunsets
In a blend of bespoke craftsmanship and a nod to the U.S. clientele's penchant for exclusivity, Mercedes-Benz USA has curated the 2024 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Big Sur, set to make its public foray this summer at Pebble Beach. This piece is more than a car; it's a statement of artistry, echoing the profound sunsets of the Pacific Coast.
Pacific-Inspired Aesthetics
Encased in the enigmatic MANUFAKTUR Orange Flame Metallic, the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Big Sur has drawn inspiration from the panoramic views of Big Sur. The labor-intensive hand-spraying process for the front and rear bumpers alongside the factory's dedicated MANUFAKTUR line ensures the car's shine remains impeccable, reflecting the care and precision the brand is renowned for.
Contrasting design elements further elevate its exterior. The vehicle boasts the AMG Exterior Chrome Package juxtaposed against black brake calipers, a demure black soft top, and a set of imposing black 21-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels. Not to be missed is the AMG emblem, marking its unprecedented placement above the roadster's radiator grille.
An Interior That Echoes Exclusivity
Diving into its cabin, one is met with hand-stitched MANUFAKTUR Mystic Red/Black Nappa leather with nuanced orange contrast stitching. The scope of this lavish material doesn't merely stop at the seats—it extends to the steering wheel, center door panels, armrest, and even the lower instrument panel. Standard active multicontour seats, known for their intricate diamond quilting perforations, add a layer of comfort. Details like deep-pile floor mats accentuated with the AMG logo, Mystic Red Nappa leather piping, and orange contrast stitching remind one of the brand's unwavering attention to precision. The center console door, with its "MANUFAKTUR" script in high-gloss chrome, stands as a testament to the vehicle's unparalleled craftsmanship.
