The Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition Makes Its World Debut

As you may remember, last month Mercedes announced that Julia Stegner would take on the role as brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin 2009. As part of her duties, Julia posed for a photo shoot alongside a Mercedes CLS 350 CGI Grand Edition, but at the time, little details regarding the four door coupe were revealed. Today, that all changes, as Mercedes has unveiled the full details of what to expect from the special edition model.

The first and most obvious thing you'll notice regarding the CLS Grand Edition is its paint finish – a color that goes by the name of "designo magno platinum." While it's also available in obsidian black, iridium silver, carneol red or flint grey, the matte platinum paintwork is said to do a remarkable job emphasizing the lines and contours of the award-winning model. Adding to its unique color, bi-xenon headlamps with dark headlamp casings are present, as are high-sheen 18-inch AMG light alloy wheels painted in titanium gray.
