I've only heard of a Barolo Red, which is a dark, maroonish red as standard color for the 55's.

The E55 presidents edition was rare, it had CF interior and it was not mars red. They also had a CLS55 presidents edition that had BRIGHT RED leather... exterior was black though. Saw the MBUSA president driving it on Garden State pkwy :-)

I know what you mean color wise. I own a teal 560SEC you can guess what my SEC friends say about that. They mostly have black some silver but I am the only teal one. I feel as though the color is where it is at to build what is different. The sedan is Ice Blue and belonged to Perry Como before I got it. Nice color but once again not a typical color.

I believe he was referring to the original poster, stating he saw one for sale online (possibly autoconnection).... and that the advertised car was a 500 not amg
