There's nothing like knowing your audience and Mercedes-Benz and AMG couldn't have chosen a better place than Dubai to show off a uniquely finished SLS. The gull-winged machine might not be on the road yet, but that's not stopped Mercedes producing this 'AMG Desert Gold' - a matt silk gold finish - example to display at the Dubai motor show.
Contrasting the gold paintwork is black detailing, with all the usual chromed elements being finished in deep gloss black paint. The wheels are finished in black too, while the interior follows the theme by being finished exclusively in black leather and carbon-fibre. Officially a one-off, if there's enough demand - there will be in Dubai - then Mercedes will offer the finish as an individual option from the AMG Performance Studio.
