    Mercedes-AMG presents the new 2025 AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Golden Coast. Limited to 100 units globally, the special edition roadster arrives at select U.S. dealerships beginning in February 2025. The exclusive model is crafted by the MANUFAKTUR individualization program, which offers customers the highest possible individuality and exclusivity with exquisite details and distinctive finishes.

    The AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Golden Coast is finished in MANUFAKTUR Kalahari Gold Magno, reminiscent of gleaming golden sand beaches. The striking paint is complimented by 21-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels in black with MANUFAKTUR Kalahari Gold Magno rim flanges. Black AMG brake calipers with white AMG logos further highlight the vehicle’s special status.

    The AMG Night Package, AMG Extended Night Package and AMG Aerodynamics Package are among the extensive standard equipment and feature contrasting exterior elements. This includes a front splitter, A-Wing trim, exterior mirror caps, side sills and rear accents in gloss black, among other elements. Additionally, the radiator grille, as well as twin tailpipe trims, model badge and Mercedes star at the rear of the vehicle are finished in black chrome.

    Elegant details are also highlighted in the interior of the special edition model. Standard AMG Performance seats are covered in hand-stitched black Nappa leather with intricate diamond stitching in gold. This gold contrast stitching extends throughout the cabin, including to the AMG Performance steering wheel, armrest, center door panels and instrument panel. MANUFAKTUR high-pile floor mats with black Nappa leather piping, an embroidered AMG logo and contrast stitching in gold also underscore the superb attention to detail. Unique MANUFAKTUR Kalahari Gold Magno trim elements on the seats, doors panels and center console further accent the interior. A “MANUFAKTUR Golden Coast” badge adorns the center console door, emphasizing the exclusivity of the special model.

    A Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine powers the AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Golden Coast, producing 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. An AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9G transmission and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive enable acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

    Mercedes-AMG presents a further MANUFAKTUR special-edition model. The exclusive limited edition of 100 is based on the SL 63 4MATIC+ (Combined energy consumption: 13.4-13.0 l/100 km | combined CO₂ emissions: 306-296 g/km | CO₂ class: G)[1] with the 430 kW (585 hp) 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and fully variable all-wheel drive. The MANUFAKTUR colour kalahari gold magno (kalaharigold; metallic matte; 677; Mercedes-Benz) is a key feature of the SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Golden Coast inside and out. Interior trim in this exquisite shade matches the exterior paintwork. The matte-black 21-inch AMG forged wheels feature a 10 twin-spoke design and offer a subtle colour contrast, with the rims and hub caps also finished in MANUFAKTUR kalahari gold magno. Black brake callipers with white AMG logos further highlight the vehicle’s special status.

    The extensive standard equipment includes the AMG Night Package Exterior, AMG Night Package Exterior II and AMG Aerodynamic Package. Details in high-gloss black include the front splitter, A-Wing trim, exterior mirror casings, sill cladding trim and rear-skirt inlays. Furthermore, the double tailpipe fairings, grille-panel fins, model badge and the Mercedes star on the rear are all finished in black chrome. The Aerodynamic Package encompasses additional flics on the wheel arches and air intakes in the front skirt, additional flics on the side air outlets in the rear skirt and a diffuser panel. All elements are painted in high-gloss black.

    The standard-fit AMG Performance seats are upholstered in black Nappa leather with elegant diamond quilting and golden topstitching. The multi-contour seat function and seat cooling provide added comfort on long journeys. The AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather is likewise individualised with golden topstitching. This also applies to the deep-pile foot mats featuring the AMG logo, black leather edging and golden topstitching. The trim element on the front-seat backrest is painted in MANUFAKTUR kalahari gold, too. The finishing touch is the exclusive “MANUFAKTUR Golden Coast” edition badge on the centre console.

    A good year ago, Mercedes‑Benz presented the MANUFAKTUR range. It was launched in exclusive model series such as the Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé, the Mercedes‑Benz S‑Class long-wheelbase version, the Mercedes‑Maybach S‑Class and the G‑Class. The new individualisation range has been very well received by customers. Recently, the EQS, the first fully electric luxury saloon from Mercedes and Mercedes‑AMG, can also be individualised with the help of the MANUFAKTUR range.

    Special paint finishes and high-quality interior refinements expand the possibilities for putting together an EQS to suit your personal taste. Below are some examples from the MANUFAKTUR range for the EQS:

    • A total of nine MANUFAKTUR paints are available, including those familiar from the S‑Class such as MANUFAKTUR vintage blue non‑metallic or MANUFAKTUR kalahari gold magno (€7,021.00 each[1]).
    • As with the S‑Class, there is the MANUFAKTUR Interior Package[2] (from 11,007.50 euros1). It is available for the EQS from Mercedes, also in combination with AMG Line interior, as well as the EQS from Mercedes‑AMG. The front and rear seats are finished in nappa leather and feature intricate diamond quilting. Nappa leather in a MANUFAKTUR colour is also used for the armrests in the doors, the centre console and the lower section of the instrument panel. The MANUFAKTUR colours tobacco brown, mystic red and rosé grey are new. Another highlight is the MANUFAKTUR steering wheel covered by hand in nappa leather, colour-coordinated with the respective interior colour. The high-pile floor mats are edged in nappa leather. The floor mats and head restraint cushions are embroidered with the Mercedes‑Benz star or the Mercedes‑AMG logo. The illuminated door sill trims bear the lettering of the respective brand and a MANUFAKTUR exclusive pattern. The centre console is adorned with MANUFAKTUR lettering in a high-sheen chrome look. Executed in cursive script, it testifies to the label’s claim to quality craftsmanship.
    • The Emblem Package[3] (from €1,487.50[4]) is available for the standard interior with black seat upholstery and black carpet. High-pile floor mats and head restrain cushions are embroidered with the Mercedes-Benz star ton-in tone.
