Super sports car a cause for celebration

THE recent launch of the incredible SLS
AMG at the AMG Performance Centre at
Mercedes-Benz Century City was a won-
derful evening of cocktails, canapés and
breathtaking vehicles!
Nothing short of a masterpiece, the
SLS AMG exudes passion, exhilaration,
sporting excellence and automotive fasci-
nation of the highest order.
Amid impressive lighting effects, Bang
& Olufsen sound and, of course, the emo-
tional roar of the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine,
guests celebrated the reveal of the super
sports car while sipping on chilled Pierre
Jourdan Brut.
Founder and MD of Haute Cabrière,
Achim von Arnim, marked the significance
of the occasion by sabraging the first bot-
tle of the evening using a sabre.
And the SLS AMG was certainly not the
only vehicle increasing heart rates at the
Cape’s only AMG Performance Centre,
where guests were able to view the com-
plete range of AMG performance vehicles.
For the true driving enthusiast, AMG
means more than style and luxury. It
means more than the raw, pulse-pounding
euphoria of performance. A Mercedes
AMG is an expression of a driver’s appre-
ciation of true quality and unbridled
passion for life.
Mercedes-Benz Century City invites
you to extend your passion by visiting the
specialised AMG sales experts at the AMG
Performance Centre to experience the
passion and performance of the widest
selection of AMG vehicles in the Cape.
