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 fit-ted at the rear. The 20-inch AMG light-alloy wheels painted in sterling silver which are due to be-come 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.
