The AMG Performance Studio has developed an exclusive SL 63 AMG Edition IWC, the company said in a statement.

Limited to a total of 200 units, the new roadster features an eye-catching designo magno Kashmir white finish as well as an AMG Exterior Carbon package with a matte surface, it added.

In keeping with the exterior appearance, the vehicle’s interior is fitted with Carbon matte trim as well as Tobago Brown nappa leather upholstery that creates additional visual and tactile highlights.

The vehicle also features the AMG Performance package to ensure unparalleled handling. All SL 63 AMG Edition IWC vehicles will be delivered to customers along with an exquisite “Grosser Ingenieur” (Great Engineer) watch from the renowned Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen.

“The SL 63 AMG Edition IWC will be the first vehicle to be offered with the all-new designo magno Kashmir white finish,” said Lee Boyle, regional sales manager for Mercedes-AMG Middle East & Levant.

The vehicle’s limited edition status is discreetly emphasised by black AMG floormats with Tobago Brown leather piping, AMG door sills with white illuminated AMG lettering, and the IWC logo on the lid of the centre console.

A reduced diameter steering wheel is part of the Performance package, which also includes forged 19-inch AMG light alloy, double-spoke wheels with a titanium gray finish and polished surfaces.

Boasting a top output of 525 hp and a maximum torque of 630 Nm, the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine is augmented by an extremely responsive partner in the shape of the all-new AMG Speedshift MCT seven-speed sports transmission.

The SL 63 AMG Edition IWC accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h.

Along with the vehicle, buyers of the SL 63 AMG Edition IWC will also receive
a limited edition model of IWC’s “Grosser Ingenieur” watch.

This precious chronometer has a stainless steel housing measuring an impressive 45.5 millimetres in diameter.

The design of the watch’s wristband and face compliment the vehicle concept. In addition, the watch’s bottom is made of sapphire glass that reveals the intricate mechanical clockwork with its automatic Pellaton winding system.

Mercedes-AMG has been collaborating with the time-honored Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen since 2004. In October of that year, the two companies presented their first jointly designed vehicle, the CLS 55 AMG “IWC Engineer.”

Customers will be able to order the SL 63 AMG Edition IWC beginning in the autumn of 2008, and vehicle deliveries will commence in November 2008. – TradeArabia News Service
