New Cars: 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG Desert Gold & G55 AMG Edition 79


Where else but Dubai would Mercedes-Benz's AMG show a special edition of the SLS AMG sports car donning a bespoke livery called AMG Desert Gold. Joining the eye-catching exotic at the bi-annual Dubai auto show is the G55 AMG Kompressor "Edition 79" sporting more unique features than the standard go-fast SUV.

Every chrome accent on the regular SLS has been dipped in a glossy black finish to accentuate the matte gold paintjob. If there's enough customer demand, officials will include the color in the car's standard palette. Black wheels continue the unique color scheme, while inside, designers bathed the cabin in black leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber trimmings.

Well heeled Middle Eastern buyers have had a thing for the G55 AMG since its consumer market launch way back in 1979. To celebrate its success there, AMG has outfitted its boxy SUV with a 'designo magno alanite grey' paint scheme matched with a crash bar up front, carbon fiber-esque side steps, and titanium finished 19-in. AMG wheels. Inside, carbon fiber welcomes passengers, as do the supple high-grade design leather seats. As you probably already surmised, only 79 examples of the special edition G55 will be built.
