R230 SL: Grand Edition

SL: Grand Edition
​

At Mercedes-Benz, it has now become a formal custom to launch special 'last edition' versions ahead of the launch of a completely new generation of a specific model. After the CLS Grand Edition was released in early 2009, which meant more than one year and a half in advance of the premiere of the new CLS C 218, it now came the turn of the SL-Klasse to receive the Grand Edition treatment, which includes an exclusive exterior paint job, exquisite appointments for the interior (such as the black leather and aluminium trim) provided by the "designo" division, large-diameter, AMG design alloy wheels and "Grand Edition" metallic labels on the front wings. Based on the previous experience, we shall make a prediction: the future SL R 231 generation could be unveiled in late summer 2012.

Not a fan of the steering wheel tho

could this evidently be more appealing even more than when the new one launches with its new pig like front end.. I think so.. its a delicate shape, but the boxy predecessor wins it for me everytime!

You would have thought that for the press shots they wouldn't have chosen a close up of a wheel with half a ton of balance weights stuck on !!
