Earlier this month from September 8 - September 15, 2011 NYC was the center of the fashion universe as 100 of the world's top fashion designers showcased their Spring 2012 Collections to spectators from all over the world.
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel, Mercedes-Benz 600 Owner
Fashion is known for its sophisticated construction, elegant execution and a forward-thinking timelessness and in many ways, these same principles apply to the Mercedes-Benz brand, which is why Mercedes-Benz has since 2007 been the sponsor of New York's fashion week and sponsors over 30 fashion-related events across five continents!
In and around Orlando, Mercedes-Benz fans were in for a treat during Fashion Week a couple of weeks ago. Not only did they get an exclusive look at Spring 2012 fashion, but they also got to see two of the most highly anticipated 2012 Mercedes-Benz is launching later this year: C63 AMG Coupe and the SLS AMG Roadster.
2012 C63 AMG Coupe
In Orlando, Mercedes C-Class fans were delighted to make the trip up the coast and get to see the all-new 2012 C63 AMG Coupe for themselves.
A hand-built 6.3-liter V-8 engine with SLS
AMG parts has an output of 510 horsepower
and can go from 0 to 60 mph in the blink of an eye; a mere 4.2 seconds.
It is easy to see from the design details that the C63 AMG Coupe definitely has race car written all over it. In Orlando, Mercedes C-Class drivers will notice that everything from the steering wheel, shift paddles, AMG sport seats and even the red contrast stitching throughout the interior show this car means business on the road.
2012 SLS AMG Roadster
For those that love small race cars and love being in the spotlight, then the 2012 SLS AMG Roadster is for you. Showcased in the lobby of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, the SLS AMG Roadster turned heads with its all-aluminum frame and soft top.
In Orlando, Mercedes-Benz fans will notice the eye-catching 10-spoke wheel design in a sharp matte black. Another unique option is getting the body in the signature AMG Sepang brown metallic paint which will certainly make you stand out on the road.
The 2012 SLS AMG Roadster features a hand-built, 563-hp 6.2-liter V-8 engine that gives it the power to go from 0-60 mph in as little as 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 197 mph!
