The vario-roof, the cross-strut in the AMG front apron, the exterior mirror housings, the fins on the wings and bonnet, the surrounds of the LED daytime running lamps, the spoiler lip on the tail end and the diffuser insert in the AMG rear apron all shine resplendent in high-gloss black.

In the new 2LOOK Edition the SL 63 AMG and the SL 65 AMG 2LOOK Edition sport an unusual, dynamic style. The combination of exclusive interior and exterior equipment and appointments make both high-performance roadsters from Mercedes-AMG even more attractive. With immediate effect the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine in the SL 63 AMG boasts an output of 430 kW (585 hp) and offers a torque of 900 newton metres. The new AMG models will be at the dealers from mid-June.

The 2LOOK Edition excites with thrilling contrasts and stands for pure exclusivity: The vario-roof, the cross-strut in the AMG front apron, the exterior mirror housings, the fins on the wings and bonnet, the surrounds of the LED daytime running lamps, the spoiler lip on the tail end and the diffuser insert in the AMG rear apron all shine resplendent in high-gloss black. The tailpipe trim elements of the AMG sports exhaust system feature a black chrome-plated finish, while high-gloss chrome is reserved for the twin louvre of the radiator grille and the AMG lettering. Further highlights are the large Edition-specific 48.3 cm (19-inch) or 50.8 cm (20-inch) AMG 10-spoke forged wheels, painted in matt black and featuring a high-sheen finish, and the red-painted brake callipers.

The driver and passenger sit in AMG sports seats featuring an embossed AMG emblem in the backrest, an AMG-specific diamond pattern in Exclusive nappa leather and contrasting trim in designo platinum white pearl nappa leather. The door centre panels also sport the AMG-specific diamond design; here too, the fine designo leather in platinum white pearl adorns the side sections of the armrests, the doors and the centre armrest. This exclusive look is underscored by an AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather/Alcantara® with a bezel in high-gloss black. The steering wheel features a high-quality hand-crafted finish with white contrasting topstitching. In the lower part it bears an insert in designo platinum white pearl nappa leather plus black marking in the 12 o’clock position. The two-tone look is defined by designo trim in black piano lacquer (no-cost option: AMG carbon-fibre trim), floor mats with AMG lettering and an insert in designo platinum white pearl leather plus the surrounds of the air outlets in high-gloss black.

The additional charges for the 2LOOK Edition models are 9401 euros (SL 63 AMG) and 5355 euros (SL 65 AMG). All prices apply to Germany incl. VAT in each case.
