Mercedes Benz reveals EQS Manufaktur Signature Edition

ABU DHABI: Mercedes-Benz has added a dose of style and luxury to the EQS, the flagship of its EV range. The EQS Manufaktur Signature Edition will be available in the AMG EQS and EQS 580 4Matic grades. Both grades are available in the US market. These limited-edition vehicles feature numerous exquisite details and tons of modern equipment to cater to discerning customer tastes. 

The EQS580 comes with a pair of electric motors that produce 516 horsepower and 855 Nm of torque. It accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and clocks a top speed of 130 mph.

The special edition models feature hand-stitched Nappa leather and unique paint colours. The centre console has "Manufaktur" lettering and the seats have microfiber pillows for headrests. EQS 580 4Matic models will also have a key fob in rose gold or gloss black. High-pile floor mats are the highlight of the interior of these limited-edition vehicles. 

The 516-horsepower EQS Manufaktur Signature Edition is available in a Mystic Red interior with Silicon Gray Non-Metallic or a Deep White interior with Rubellite Red Metallic. 

Manufaktur is Mercedes' personalized interior trim material choices and division prodigy exterior colour beyond standard selections. It's a new way to customize Mercedes-Benz's high-end models. Manufaktur options can be availed on select vehicles in the Mercedes lineup. Earlier, it was available for the G class, but now it has been expanded to the S-Class, CLS-Class, and AMG GT 4-Door.

Mercedes announced the Manufaktur options for the EQS in late 2022. They included nine exterior colours: Hyacinth Red, Diamond White, Cote d'Azur Blue, Night Black, Selenite Gray, Silicon Gray, Kalahari Gold, Rubellite Red, and Vintage Blue. 

Mercedes-Benz has not revealed anything about the cost of these limited-edition models. It has not even uncovered the details about the number of units it will produce.
