Founded in 1967 by Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, AMG established
itself as a world-renowned producer of exclusive high-performance automobiles.
"To celebrate the 45th birthday of AMG, we are presenting a very special
anniversary model limited to 45 units in the shape of the SL65 AMG '45th
ANNIVERSARY.' The refined V12 roadster with exclusive equipment is the perfect
embodiment of our brand claim 'Driving Performance'", says Ola Källenius,
Managing Director of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
The designers have created a new paint finish exclusively for the SL65 AMG "45th
ANNIVERSARY" called designo magno graphite. With its silk-matte finish, the gray
color reaffirms the powerful character of the refined V12 roadster. The matte
paint enhances beautifully the contours of the aluminum bodyshell.
Stunning contrast is set by carefully selected applications in polished chrome.
These include the new twin-blade grille with two blade-like fins, the surrounds
of the AMG LED daytime running lights and the side fins on the fenders and hood.
Exterior Carbon Package in Matte Finish
Reserved exclusively for the 2013 SL65 AMG "45th ANNIVERSARY" is the Exterior Carbon
Package in matte finish. The horizontal bar in the front skirt, the exterior
mirrors and the spoiler lip are made from genuine carbon-fiber with a silk-matte
surface finish. The AMG 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine has the same look - the
premium engine cover is made from matte carbon and aluminum.
The AMG sports exhaust delivers a characteristic engine sound. The outer skin of
the dual end pipe is finished in black chrome, while the insert retains its
polished chrome surface. The effect is rounded off perfectly by the AMG forged
multispoke wheels painted in matte titanium grey with polished rims. The tires
from the AMG Performance Studio measure 255/35 R19 at the front and 285/30 R20
at the rear.
