Hot new Mercedes in Frankfurt only shown to VIP's?

Dear 001,

Just wanted to let you know that there was a secret car at the IAA in a separate room behind the AMG R63.

Check this out...

It was a 580hp CLK widebody carbon fiber door Convertible.

It had a 5 speed paddle shift transmission, Silver exterior/black interior,full carbon fiber interior with exposed carbon door panels,carbon center console, and carbon shell race buckets. The interior was a mix of black leather and black alcantara.

The car was numbered 1 out of 100 and will most likely not be offered for sale in the US.

Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take pictures and I was the only one in the room with a representative.

Thanks and hope this is interesting for your site.

Regards,

The modest mouse

Enough with your love of Audi. Theyre second rate luxury/sport.

And not to be sexist or anything, but who cares what your wife says.

The 2 Audis I owned were utter crap. (1999 A8, 2002 S4)

Broke down ALL the time. Had worse resale value than a FORD.

I'll stick with my extremely RELIABLE BMW's for now.
