The AMG Performance Studio, which opened its doors in Affalterbach in 2006, aims to meet even the most discerning customer requirements and supplies AMG trim elements in black piano lacquer/carbon fibre which are available ex factory for S-Class AMG models. While the dashboard and the door trim are adorned with dazzling, black wood trim, both the front centre console and the folding rear armrest are trimmed in genuine carbon fibre. The high-grade material mix lends the interior a definite dynamic touch as an option – and subtly alludes to AMG's eminently successful motorsport heritage. The AMG performance steering with Alcantara inserts in the grip area not only feels good but also makes a striking visual impact.

AMG forged wheels painted in black with a mirror finish are also available for the S 63 AMG. The eye-catching twin-spoke wheels are fitted with 255/35 R 20 (front) and 275/35 R 20 (rear) tyres.

The entire designo range is available to provide further individualisation options. Ten different designo paint finishes can be combined with ten designo aniline leather appointments options – with the result that there are practically unlimited possibilities for customers to turn their personal preferences into reality. Particular highlights come courtesy of the three matt paint finishes designo magno platinum, designo magno allanite grey, designo magno cashmere white, the high-sheen designo mystic brown paintwork, not to mention the designo aniline leather in deep white. The designo aniline leather colours deep white, deep black and light brown provide customers with even more individualisation options. When it comes to designo the customer can choose from six different exclusive trim options: natural maple grain and matt natural oak grain as well as two high-sheen piano lacquer trim options in black or champagne white. The unique designo stone trim elements made from genuine granite are available in two versions for the S-Class: Labrador blue pearl and Star Galaxy. To highlight the exclusivity of the designo trim elements, customers can adorn the rear air conditioning unit cover with handmade designo lettering in 925 sterling silver.

Mercedes-Benz is offering a high-end equipment package for the S 63 AMG with a long wheelbase and the S 65 AMG – all in the shape of the designo Selection. Customers are able to configure their S-Class according to their personal preferences and taste from all the designo paint finishes, designo leather colours and designo wood trim options. Other components of the package include a black roof liner in nappa leather with special fluting, a matching designo wood/leather steering wheel and designo lettering in solid 18-carat gold – hand-finished exclusively for the designo Selection – on the rear air conditioning unit cover.
