The original Mercedes-AMG cabin design is beautiful and stylish, but here we are talking about people who got famous for their design skills. For this particular project, Vilner team has decided to be modest in personalization. The team has remained some of the components untouched, while completely changed other – for example, we still see the original central leather sections of the sporty seats, along with the contrast stitching. However, there are some new covers for the seats and additional contrast stitching ideas.

    What is special about the additional leather is the process of perforation – the position of holes is aligned with the stitching in such a way that everything just fits perfectly – added components, along with the original ones. Also, the shape of the perforated components is a representation of the classical AMG design. This means that everything that Vilner team has installed completely matches the colors, materials and overall expression of the original Mercedes-Concept idea.
