Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Interior Details And Design Sketches Revealed

In a brilliant marketing move – one that surely only the geniuses at their marketing department could have surmised – Mercedes today has granted a bit of backstage access into the inner workings of their design department, revealing interior photos and design sketches of their forthcoming SLS AMG Gullwing model. According to the company, "aviation engineering" was the inspiration for the SLS interior, as evidenced by "the centre console in the style of a jet's operating console and the four striking air vents reminiscent of aircraft engines."

According to Gordon Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz: "The interior of the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is not only very special because of the exclusive swing-wing doors. The visible influence of aviation engineering, the high-grade materials and the practicality typical of a sports car will make the hearts of sports car enthusiasts beat faster. At the same time the new interior styling indicates the design philosophy for coming generations of Mercedes sports cars."

But why read about it when you can see it.

David,
don't you think it's time for new prescription glasses?
Don't settle for cheap plastic ones. Shell out some money for a good ones.
Then, you will see the whole world in nicer colors.

Uh, plastic where? If you count buttons on the stereo and steering wheel and glove compartment latch, and maybe the gauge surround, that is the only plastic. All other surface material is carbon fibre, leather or metal. What car are you looking at?

I bet the two leather seats cost more than an iQ.

The SLS interior in my opinion is better than the SLR by a mile. It looks more refined as well as it should be. The SLS with the legendary gullwing door deserves nothing but the best treatment.
