High-tech silver

The exterior of the “MANUFAKTUR Arctic Silver” edition focuses on a subtle yet powerful appearance with an exclusive matte paint finish in MANUFAKTUR high-tech silver magno for an elegant look. Contrasting black and red accents emphasize the distinctive character of this edition. The forged multi-spoke wheels come in 22 inches for the GLE and 23 inches for the GLS, finished in matte black with striking red flanges and red brake callipers. In addition, wheel hub covers bearing the AMG logo and laurel wreath complete the bold, performance-oriented look. The standard AMG Night Package enhances the “MANUFAKTUR Arctic Silver” Edition with an even more dynamic and commanding presence. Key exterior elements are finished in high-gloss or matte black, providing sharp contrasts to the silver paintwork and reinforcing the vehicle’s bold, performance-driven aesthetic. These include the front splitter and trim strip on the AMG front apron, the exterior mirror housings, side skirts, window surrounds, and the trim strip on the rear apron. Dark chrome tailpipe trims and the matte black roof railing further emphasize the exclusive look. The sporty and elegant appearance is further refined by heat-insulating dark-tinted glass from the B-pillar onwards, adding a visually striking touch while enhancing comfort and functionality.

The MANUFAKTUR Interior Package enhances the cabin’s distinctive look with illuminated AMG door sill panels, embroidered AMG lettering on the rear headrest cushions, and the edition-specific chrome logo on the passenger side. Additional exclusive accents include the AMG Performance steering wheel in carmine red Nappa leather, carbon trim elements with red embroidery, and the embossed AMG crest on the front headrests.
