The exterior paint finish in cirrus white corresponds with the AMG sports stripes in matt graphite grey on the bonnet, roof and sides. The red highlights on the radiator grille, exterior mirrors and rear aerofoil leave a lasting impression. These highlights combine to perfection with the red painted brake calipers and the AMG multispoke light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with special AMG hub caps in central-locking look.
