* Pioneering technology meets bespoke luxury in limited edition of the world's most desirable and highly anticipated super coupe

Mercedes-Benz USA and Saks Fifth Avenue come together to offer the Signature Edition of the all-new flagship 2007 CL-Class coupe. Just 20 Signature Edition CL600 luxury coupes will be offered exclusively through Saks Fifth Avenue's annual “The Gift” holiday catalog which mails to customers mid October 2006. Last year's 2005 “The Gift” catalog featured 20 examples of a specially equipped S600 flagship sedan –" priced at $145,775 –" which sold out in a staggering seven minutes.

Widely recognized as the world's benchmark luxury coupe, the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class can trace its history back to the grand 300 S coupe in 1952. Today it continues to define the pinnacle of automotive innovation and design. The all-new 2007 CL-Class pairs its commanding presence on the road with revolutionary technology including Night View Assist infra-red driving assistance, parking guidance system, PRE-SAFE brakes, Distronic PLUS and COMAND Plus, the intuitively centralized entertainment interface.

The eagerly awaited new CL-Class will make its official US debut at the Miami Auto Show this October and is expected to arrive in US showrooms in late 2006. The Signature Edition CL600, built exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue, offers elegance in abundance, with an exclusive color palette that suits the season –" the exterior is Mystic White, paired with Porcelain Nappa leather interior and Piano Lacquer Black wood-trim. It also features 5-spoke 18” wheels and high-performance tires. Under the hood is a twin-turbo V12 that boasts a whopping 510 horsepower and 612 lb.-ft. of torque, propelling the grand coupe from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Pricing for this special-edition super coupe has yet to be announced. (Actually, in the catalog I just got the price is listed as $160K.)

Wow, love the color combination. Sorry still not a fan of the looks inside or out. I am sure the engineering is incredible.
Great find, thanks for sharing!

Yeah the car is ugly.

The front bumper looks too tame, I'd be more impressed if they put on the AMG body kit . . .

The back is the only thing I like about this car.

I hate that huge Mercedes Emblem up front.

That's a Sexy Coupe rght there. I'd love to see it in Blue Onyx....Black wouldn't look to bad either. That said, I'm still not loving it as much as the outgoing CL.

Something wrong with the front.. it looks too soft. The AMG kit would look 10x better.

Paint the MB emblem red and it reminds me of Rudolph, probably because of the backdrop.
I think the last-gen CL was better looking.

err..... i don't really see much good in the look of the car, specially the front. just like what i said in the other thread, the amg kits make the car look so much better

the interior though is pretty nice

I like the older ones (around 2002) better

Its that way because the Distronic radar is right behind it.

Wow, they complained lexus has boring designs?

That's why you have to get the 600 with the amg sports package.
That is the biggest turn-off when comparing a CL55/63 amg to the 600
But how can you turn down that v12
