A golden Mercedes SL 63?

What immediately stands out is the Kalahari Gold Magno color—a name that instantly evokes images of golden sandy beaches, which is exactly what Mercedes wanted to reflect. Usually, when you hear “gold paint,” you tend to frown rather than smile. But this time, this matte color gives the car an appearance that is both sophisticated and bold, perfect for those who want to stand out without going overboard. And it’s true, Mercedes exudes a class that other brands lack. The 21-inch AMG-forged cross-spoke wheels complete this look with golden details that match the body. To further enhance the design, Mercedes incorporated several black elements: the grille, the exhaust outlets, and the badges feature a black chrome finish, thanks to the AMG Night and AMG Aerodynamics packages included as standard. In other words, even when stationary, this car exudes power.

A sporty and very luxurious interior

Inside, the attention to detail is impressive. The Performance AMG seats are upholstered in hand-stitched black Nappa leather, with golden stitching that extends to the steering wheel, door panels, and dashboard. The center console proudly displays a “Manufaktur Golden Coast” badge—a subtle reminder of this edition’s exclusivity. In terms of technology, everything is in place to ensure optimal comfort. With Apple CarPlay-compatible infotainment screens, natural black birch wood finishes, and “moonlight” chrome accents, the cabin ambiance is both chic and modern. Even the floor mats feature Nappa leather details with golden stitching. Nothing is left to chance.

Performances worthy of Mercedes AMG

Under the hood, the SL 63 Manufaktur Golden Coast hides the famous 4.0-liter V8 biturbo, which produces 577 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. Paired with a 9-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission and the 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system, this roadster accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Not bad for a car that could easily pass as a rolling lounge! But unlike the huge British GT, its handling is not compromised, thanks to the AMG aerodynamic packages that improve high-speed stability. This SL 63 isn’t just made to be admired; it’s designed to be driven, and you can feel that with every turn of the wheel. After all, it’s still an AMG.
