CLS55 AMG (IWC Edition) launched Hong Kong Today

Anyone went to the launch ceremony in convention center today? It was a marvellous high-tech show ! ( There are only 55 IWC edition produced in the world wonder anyone has been able to order one? )

I was wondering if the metallic grey color is only unique to CLS55 IWC edition or this color also available for the normal CLK55 ? This color truly matches the IWC AMG Titanium Watch they show!

for some reason, i'm still not sure if i like most cls's, but they're growing on me. the only things i didn't/don't like are the headlights - they look like they're halfway up the hood- and the rear - looks like it slopes off to nothing. i do think the trunk lid looks better with the lip on the back though. overall...nice.

You are right. This launch is meaningful . IWC makea a relaunch of its Ingenieur series of watches. And, for AMG owners, they have a choice of three IWC Ingenieur AMG models of watches. The chrono with non metal stripe seems the best looking one. Believe or not, the back side of the watch has the same face as the cover of our AMG engine

Its hard to believe., people who drives a CLS but not in to playing watches.!!!!

Rolex is OUT... IWC is IN... thats what I can say.

btw. cntlaw:. I have a Z4 in Hong Kong... do you have recommandations in places in getting body kit for it?... I tried Kowloon City near old airport.... but dont' seem any body carry them at resonable price.

You are right. I am not wearing my Rolexes any more but I still wear my IWC Porsche Design (Ocean) and I even dived with it under 30m down the Australian reef! The IWC AMG watch is very very tempting....
No. I have not accessed to body kit shops but I will ask around for you.
BTW, I have not completely killed my dream to replace my Z3 with Z4 , and then the SLK glows on me.....
have a nice day

cntlaw: comparing Z3 and Z4... its A LOT more different,.! I have a S52 (US version ) M roadster here,.!... at 240hp.... the power. in the 3.0 in the Z4 is almost identical than the M here.! but well,. I hate the way it steer., the power steering is too light at low speed.!!!...

SLK,. well., I would have waited for the SLK if I know it will be out two years ago.,! the 200k is at a killer price,. ... (well.. no power though) .. haha...

Pity , I hope someone here from Europe or States can get hold of one out of the 55 allocation and show us their photos.
For me , ha ha , I can't think of paying 1.65 million HKD ( USD22,000) here for a 'normal' CLS55

Amazing to know Z4 3.0 is as powerful as a Z3 M Roadster.....
I am still struggling between a SLK200K or a SLK350. Even we all know SLK350 is more fun; however, since I already got a fun enough C55 , I am thinking whether it is sensible to replace my Z3 2.2 to a SLK200K for the sake of saving some money but still an 'upgrade'? Any ideas?
