As if the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG isn't desirable enough, Mercedes  
today has unveiled the latest in their long line of limited-edition  
models:  the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG Edition IWC.  Limited to a mere  
200 units, the SL63 Edition IWC boasts the full plethora of features  
found in the standard SL63 AMG, and in addition, also features an all- 
new exterior paint color; an AMG Performance package and a number of  
exclusive interior appointments.

First, let's look at the new model's exterior.  Immediately  
differentiating the SL63 Edition IWC from traditional SL's is the  
exterior paint - an all-new designo magno Kashmir white finish.  To  
compliment the color, an AMG Carbon package with a matte surface has  
been added, with the trailing edge, the diffuser insert in the lower  
back panel and the side air vents on the front apron all featuring  
the carbon finish.

Inside, occupants are nestled in a cozy Tobago Brown nappa leather  
interior with carbon accents on both the door panels and center  
console.  Other interior highlights include AMG sports seats  
featuring multicontour and memory functions, heating, an AMG-specific  
perforation pattern, a special design and AMG badges; black AMG  
floormats with Tobago Brown leather piping; AMG door sills with white  
illuminated AMG lettering; and the IWC logo on the lid of the center  
console.

And finally, because it's fitted with an AMG performance package,  
owners of the limited edition SL63 will also benefit from a smaller- 
diamter steering wheel; silver-finish aluminum gearshift paddles; 19- 
inch light alloy double spoke wheels; rear-axle, multi-disc limited- 
slip differential with a lock factor of 40 percent; and an AMG  
Performance chassis equipped with Active Body Control, among other  
things.

Did I mention it comes with IWC Schaffhausen's “Grosser  
Ingenieur” (Great Engineer) watch?

IWC will start in fall 2008, while deliveries will commence this
