Enhanced Exterior and Performance in Each
The SLS AMG unveiled this time is painted in the special color Desigo Magno Night Black, handled by AMG in Germany. Accents of red on the hood scoops, brake calipers, fuel filler cap, and parts of the front grille, combined with the red leather interior, create a captivating vehicle.
The other AMG unveiled, the "Concept358," is a model painted in Desigo Pearl Orange on the body of a C63 AMG. The model name "358" originates from the 6.2-liter V8 engine's output being increased to a maximum of 358 kW (487 ps) through the "AMG Performance Package Plus." Its acceleration performance is a high 4.4 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, with a top speed of 250 km/h (with limiter engaged). Furthermore, the special feel is enhanced by the adoption of exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels, Keyless-Go, and Desigo leather interior.
While there has been no announcement regarding the commercial release of the SLS AMG, orders for the C63 AMG with the AMG Performance Package Plus have already begun in Australia.
BRAND HISTORY
When tracing the history of automobiles, two Germans, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, emerge as pioneers. It goes without saying that these two men independently created gasoline-powered automobiles between 1885 and 1886, laying the foundation for the automotive society. The automobile companies they founded were at times seen as rivals, but to overcome the recession after World War I, they joined forces, and Daimler-Benz AG was established through their merger in 1926.
The name "Mercedes" given to the products originated when Emil Jellinek, a customer of Daimler's, had it named after his eldest daughter in exchange for undertaking sales outside of Germany. It was registered as a trademark by Daimler in 1902.
Thus born, Mercedes, and subsequently Mercedes-Benz, has continued to lead the times as a driving force in automotive development, actively introducing cutting-edge technologies such as the safety passenger cell, airbags, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and Night View.
