Mercedes CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur” [56k BEWARE!!]
Mercedes-AMG pairs up with watch manufacturer IWC (International Watch Company) to bring you....
the Mercedes CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur”
I SOOOOOO want this car
Limited-edition Mercedes-AMG model in cooperation with IWC Schaffhausen:
The new CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur”: 55 units with particularly exclusive
equipment. In cooperation with the Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen,
Mercedes-AMG has developed an exclusive model known as the CLS 55 AMG
“IWC Ingenieur”. Only 55 units of the unique four-door coupe will be
produced. The car has a powerful AMG 5.5-litre supercharged V8 engine
and boasts exclusive equipment details.
The CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur” features an exclusive dark titanium grey
metallic paint job. All of the exterior decorative elements, including
the radiator grille louvres, fog light rings, side window bezels, handle
inserts and rear trim, come in the same matt titanium colour, which
matches the top-quality titanium case of the new “Ingenieur AMG” watch
from IWC.
The design of the newly designed AMG instrument cluster is based on the
new “Ingenieur” watch family from IWC, which is making its world debut at
the Geneva watch show in April 2005. The 55 units of the CLS 55 AMG
“IWC Ingenieur” will each be customised at AMG in Affalterbach, Germany.
The exclusive nature of the new CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur” is also apparent
in its interior. One striking feature here is the completely redesigned AMG
instrument cluster. With rhodanised and silver needles, white lighting and
black dials with a new typographical style, the cluster’s analogue clock,
speedometer and tachometer are designed in line with IWC’s new “Ingenieur AMG”
watch. The titanium shade of the watchcase is repeated in the edge trim and
the decorative rings of the AMG instrument cluster. The IWC logo integrated
into the analogue clock refers to the partnership with Mercedes-AMG.
In contrast to the series-produced version of the CLS 55 AMG, the
limited-edition vehicle boasts decorative elements in high-quality piano
lacquer. The intricate paint job, which involves applying several layers
of black and varnish, results in a particular deep, luscious sheen.
Furthermore, the “IWC Ingenieur” lettering is inlaid on the cover of the
storage compartment in the centre console, adding an extra touch of exclusivity.
A further difference from the series-produced CLS 55 AMG is the vehicle’s
chrome elements, all of which are galvanized in matt titanium. The roof liner
in anthracite alcantara also adds to the special atmosphere. Piping galvanized
with matt titanium can be found on the interior door panels, and the door
tread panels with AMG lettering illuminated in white also feature a titanium
look. The AMG emblems on the selector lever are also in matt titanium.
Each of the 55 automobiles is equipped with the KEYLESS-GO system,
and a new AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel with a strikingly moulded rim
in black nappa leather comes as standard.
Highly qualified AMG employees in Affalterbach will be responsible for
customising the 55 units of the CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur”.
A new watch named the IWC “Ingenieur AMG” has been launched to complement
the CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur”. This robust, sporty timepiece is available
in five variants: an “Ingenieur Automatic AMG” in titanium with a titanium
strap or a soft black strap; an “Ingenieur Chronograph AMG” in titanium with
a titanium strap or a soft black strap; and a limited-edition “IWC Ingenieur
Automatik CLS 55 AMG”, of which only 55 have been made. This model
is available exclusively to customers of the CLS 55 AMG “IWC Ingenieur”.
Each timepiece has a red minute graduation and a titanium casing with the AMG
logo engraved on the back. The “Ingenieur Automatik AMG” additionally has a
red second hand, while the “Ingenieur Chronograph AMG” features a red stop
hand. Like every “IWC Ingenieur”, these models are equipped with a robust
high-precision movement, and their sophisticated waterproofing system means
that they are waterproof to depths of up to 120 metres. The very first
IWC “Ingenieur” was produced in 1955, and only 1,000 were ever made. Today
they are sought-after collectors’ items.
