Thinking of getting yourself a Mercedes roadster for tooling
around in the summer sun and the standard dealer fare just isn't cutting it ?
Well, Mercedes will soon offer a trio of special edition models/packages that
could tickle your fancy.
Available starting this summer will be the 2018 SLC300
RedArt Edition. This model is painted Selenite Grey Metallic with Gloss Red
accents on the front spoiler, intake arches, rear diffuser, and side fins. It
has unique 18-inch twin 5-spoke polished alloy wheels, and peeking through
those spokes are perforated brake discs and red calipers complete with
"Mercedes- Benz" lettering up front.
Inside, it features nappa leather upholstery with Silver
Pearl nappa leather inserts, red stitching, and the SLC RedArt Edition logo
embroidered on the headrests. This logo is also on the floormats. A
carbon-fiber look trim is found on the steering wheel, headrests, and Dynamic
Select lever.
Instead of a model, the Performance Studio RedArt is an
option package for the 2018 Mercedes-AMG SLC43. It has the same exterior
elements as the SLC300 RedArt Edition, except the wheels are 10-spokers painted
gloss black with red rim flanges, and the red brake calipers have
"AMG" lettering.
The SLC43's interior is also similar to that of the SLC300.
However, the upholstery is black leather, the seats have red piping, and the
floormats are AMG specific with red borders. Seat heating and Mercedes'
AirScarf neck-level heating system are standard.
The third choice is the designo Edition for the 2018
Mercedes-Benz SL450 and SL550. It is offered in Brilliant Blue Metallic or
Cardinal Red Metallic paint, and it comes with 19-inch front and 20-inch rear
AMG 10-spoke forged wheels. Other exterior cues include chrome front bumper
elements, and designo Edition badges in the fender vents.
Rather than a sporty cabin, the SL designo Edition aims for
luxury. The seats and door panels are upholstered in Porcelain and Black
designo nappa leather, the roof liner is covered in Porcelain designo Dinamica
microfiber, and the seat belts are white designo items. The cabin also gets
ambient lighting, a three-spoke steering wheel covered in Black and Porcelain
nappa leather, Porcelain leather on the Dynamic Select lever, designo Porcelain
Piano Lacquer trim, and floor mats with Porcelain designo badges and edging.
To amp up the luxury, the SL designo Edition also features
seats that take care of the occupants in every way possible. They are heated
and cooled, have numerous power controls, include a massage function, come with
active bolsters that hold passengers in place in corners, and move to the
safest position in case of a crash. AirScarf is also standard.
Mercedes's Driving Assistance Package is also included. It
has adaptive cruise control with steering assist, blind-spot monitors, an
Active Brake Assist system with cross-traffic functionality, active lane
control, and Pre-Safe Brake, which will brake at up to 40 percent power, while
sounding an alert, if traffic is stopped ahead. With the latter feature, the
moment the driver touches the brake pedal 100 percent of braking power is
delivered.
Like the other packages, the SL designo Editions are due
this summer.
