The Mercedes-Benz SL Grand Edition

Grand Edition - this is what especially exclusive Mercedes-Benz special edition models are called. The new Grand Edition models of the SL450 and SL550 come with numerous highlights to the interior and exterior that create an even more luxurious driving experience.

The SL Grand Edition is available in Graphite Grey with applications in high-gloss chrome and matte silver to ensure a special look for the front bumper. The badges with the SL Grand Edition logo placed laterally on the mudguards subtly reference the special model's status.

The designo Tundra Brown Pearl leather with its shimmering metallic surface catches the eye on the interior, with details such as fine diamond quilting, piping in designo Golden Olive Pearl and an embroidered special model logo on the head restraints. The multifunction sports steering wheel is also designed in Tundra Brown Pearl leather. The grip zone is particularly easy on the hand in perforated black Nappa leather. The Grand Edition will also receive the sports suspension, which is lowered by 10mm for firmer tuning and sportier driving dynamics.

The SL450 comes packed with a 3.0-litre V6 that's good for 362bhp and 500Nm of torque. The more powerful SL550, on the other hand, sports a 4.6-litre V8 powerplant that will pump out 449bhp and a dizzying 700Nm of twisting force, allowing it to smash the century sprint in just 4.3 seconds - half a second faster than the SL450.
