Mercedes-AMG has revealed a new, ultra-exclusive version of its flagship performance SUV, the 2026 GLS 63 MANUFAKTUR Arctic Silver Edition. Limited to just 450 units worldwide, this rare model showcases AMG’s commitment to bold styling, handcrafted luxury, and pure performance. It will arrive in select U.S. showrooms by late 2025.
The GLS 63 Arctic Silver stands apart thanks to its MANUFAKTUR Cirrus Silver Magno matte paint, accented by glossy black and deep red highlights. The SUV sits on 23-inch forged AMG wheels, finished in matte black with striking red rim accents. Red AMG brake calipers add a sporty contrast, while the AMG Night Package contributes gloss-black detailing across the front splitter, side mirrors, window surrounds, and rear fascia.
Inside, the Arctic Silver edition feels just as dramatic. The cabin is trimmed in Carmine Red and Black Nappa leather, complete with diamond quilting and AMG carbon fiber inlays. Custom MANUFAKTUR Arctic Silver badging adorns the dashboard, while illuminated AMG door sills and branded floor mats emphasize its bespoke nature. For collectors and performance enthusiasts, the appeal lies not only in its power but also in its extreme rarity and attention to detail.
Only 450 units will be made, and this edition is expected to sell out quickly. It represents more than a luxury SUV, it’s a statement of individuality for those who demand performance with exclusivity.
