Two optional extras from Mercedes-AMG are now available to
give the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class an even more personal touch: AMG
bodystyling and AMG light-alloy wheels. The air of poise and self-assurance
that surrounds the powerful yet elegant Mercedes flagship model is taken to
even greater heights by these AMG components.
The AMG bodystyling package comprises front and rear aprons as well as side
skirts, all sporting the trademark AMG look: at the front, the restyled front bumper
with its large cooling air intakes, black honeycomb grille and fog lamps with
chrome surrounds produces a sportier feel at the same time as giving the new
S-Class à la AMG a wider, lower-set appearance. The lines of the front bumper are
mirrored in the side skirts whose distinctive sculpting in turn blends into the rear
apron. The bodystyling is rounded off in dynamic fashion by the eye-catching rear
bumper. Two large, oval AMG tailpipes with a chrome finish (except on S 320 CDI
and S 600) add the final touches.
Striking AMG light-alloy wheels in 19 and 20-inch sizes
Extra sporty flair is also available by opting for the new 19-inch and 20-inch AMG
light-alloy wheels which come in two different 5-spoke designs. At the front, the
high-sheen 19-inch AMG wheels measure 8.5 J x 19 and are shod with 255/40 R 19
wide tyres while 275/40 R 19 tyres mounted on wheels measuring 9.5 J x 19 are fitted
at the rear.
The 20-inch AMG light-alloy wheels painted in sterling silver which are due to become
available in spring 2006 measure 8.5 J x 20 at the front and 9.5 J x 20 at the
rear and are shod with 255/35 R 20 and 275/35 R 20 tyres respectively. Quite
apart from filling out the wheel arches perfectly and adding an extra dash of
sportiness to the car's looks, the AMG light-alloy wheels also enhance the handling
capabilities of the new S-Class even further.
Both the unmistakable AMG bodystyling and the exciting AMG light-alloy wheels
are available for all of the different engines as well as both body variants in the new
Mercedes-Benz S-Class range.
