AFFALTERBACH, GERMANY -- January 11, 2015: Carl
Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the automobile in 1886. In so doing,
they established a tradition of constant further developments and
innovative new creations that continue to this day. Mercedes-Benz's sports
car and performance brand are now celebrating this 130th anniversary with
the exclusive special edition Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC Cabriolet "Edition
130". Distinguished by particularly exquisite appointments, the special
edition will celebrate its world premiere at the North American
International Auto Show in Detroit.
With the high-gloss special colour "alubeam silver" paint
finish, the Bordeaux red fabric top and the matt black 20-inch 10-spoke
wheels with high-sheen rim flanges, the Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC Cabriolet
"Edition 130" presents an exclusive version of the open-top four seater.
"The first automobiles from Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler were open
vehicles. Mercedes-AMG honours this achievement of the founding fathers
with this highly exclusive cabriolet, and demonstrates the developments the
automobile has undergone in the last 130 years, developments which would
have been inconceivable at that time", according to Tobias Moers, Chairman
of the Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
Limited: only 130 cars
The exclusive designo nappa leather upholstery in Bengal
red/black or optionally crystal grey/black as well as the trim elements in
AMG carbon/piano lacquer black also underscore the special position of this
limited edition, of which there are only 130 available. A badge in the
middle console and an engraving on the steering wheel bezel also highlight
this fact. Brake calipers painted red and floor mats with Bengal red or
crystal grey edging round off the visual impression.
Every customer receives a tailor-made AMG Indoor Car Cover
with the embroidered lettering "Edition 130 – 1 of 130" to protect
this valuable vehicle from dust in the garage. Furthermore, at the handover
of the keys the customer receives the Welcome Package with an Edition 130
badge key ring and an aluminium box for the handing over of the vehicle's
key.
The "Edition 130" celebrates its
world premiere and sales release at the North American International Auto
Show in Detroit. The non-binding list price in Germany is 226,457 Euros
(including 19% VAT). Market launch begins in April 2016.
Aside from the expressive design of the exterior and
interior, the four-seater cabriolet offers the brand's hallmark Driving
Performance. The 5.5 litre V8-biturbo engine with 430 kW
(585 HP) output and 900 Nm maximum torque, the performance-oriented 4MATIC
all-wheel drive, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and the
high performance composite brake system leave nothing to be desired.
