With a focus on racing Mercedes-Benz finally beat the Red Bull team in 2014 and showed the world they had everything it takes to be the best in the world. Winning the manufacturer title gave them the reason to celebrate and offer the world something it had not seen before, but what would that be? How would you feel about a couple of special edition models of the SL63 AMG to bring the fun to fruition and let the world see how great the Mercedes-Benz models can be and what they can put into a car.
Before we get into the specifics of the what these awesome models will have to offer understand these two new Special Edition models of the car are going to severely limited in numbers and extremely high in price so very few in the world will get the pleasure of actually having one of these Special Edition models. These will be so limited there will only be about nineteen of each version made.
Even though these will be ultra-limited, the Special Edition Mercedes SL63 AMG will have the look and feel that will make your head turn if one happens to show up in your neck of the woods. The first model has many designs from Nico Rosenberg who was one of the winning drivers from 2014. This version will come in white with some Himalayas gray accents and a cashmere interior. The inside of this car looks simply amazing with gray, black cashmere, leather and even some gold trimmings to finish it off giving it the completely upscale design you want from such a limited model. One of the coolest features is the floor mats that actual have a depiction of the Hockeheim circuit which happens to be one of the tracks where Rosenberg won the pole.
The other Special Edition is made to celebrate Lewis Hamilton and is much more aggressive. Where Rosenberg’s is subtle, elegant and understated, Hamilton’s is boisterous and in-your –face amazing. This version is black and has some gorgeous gold trimming, stitching along with detachable door handles and mirrors. The carpeting of this version has a depiction of the Silverstone map which actually shows up in other elements around this car as one of the locations Hamilton was successful as the driver of the Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 race car.
Another interesting feature to note, and one that you may not really need, but is really cool is the addition of a helmet for each car. These helmets are not for you to wear while driving, but are actual helmets that were worn during the performance of the representative drivers during this amazingly successful year. Buying one of these beauties will cost you $400,000 but you can save a little cash and buy the pair for $785,000 which is incidentally how the cars are going to be sold first, the singles will only be sold once all buyers willing to get the pair have been satisfied, up to a total of nineteen.
Other than the amazing looks, what will these two have powering their absolute awesomeness down the road? Each will carry in a 5.5-liter biturbo V8 engine that puts out 577 horsepower. This gives these cars the ability to reach sixty mph in 4.1 seconds and each one will be a convertible model, making the driving even more fun.
Not many of us will have the kind of scratch it will take to purchase one or both of these awesome cars, but this is probably one of the coolest ways ever to celebrate a winning season. With all the time and effort it took to finally beat the Red Bull team, Mercedes-Benz and its two champion drivers deserve to enjoy their victory and show off to the world exactly how to appreciate great drivers; with a pair of cars that are fitting to the drivers and their abilities.
