Not a CL55 AMG, CL500 an interior with carbon fiber.

The CL55 F1 I believe was the first road car with ceramic brakes. I'm not sure if that's one though lol.

That is definetly an F1 Edition CL55 AMG. I've got the AMG book and as anyone can see in the pics, that one is #47 of 55.
True collectable with ceramic brakes and an engine supposedly nearly as quick as the replacement '03 and up AMG CL55s with supercharger.
I personally would get the F1 if I could get one in Black.....but the one in the ad is very sweet too!

BlownV8

Nope, not even close. It only has around 10 more hp over stock or a total of 360 hp but it still weighs 4116 lbs. The 2003 CL55 has 493 hp and weighs 4255 lbs.

come on people, be a little less skeptical

I'm sorry but I did not want to hurt your feelings, you have some photos of the real F1 Limited Edition.

I was just repeating what the book says.

Nice pics, I have seen similar in my book, but I don't recall seeing those seats. Is it possible they are an option?

I'm not at home and can't verify 100% though.

...The unique character of the Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG "F1 Limited Edition" with ceramic brakes is also emphasized by the particularly exclusive equipment and appointments. Equipped with a 5.5-liter, 265 kW/360 hp V8 engine and available only with brilliant silver metallic paintwork, the limited-edition top-class coupe has exquisite AMG styling and presents a very striking appearance. 8.5-inch (front) and 9.5-inch (rear) wide, 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels with 255/40 ZR 19 tires at the front and 285/35 ZR 19 tires at the rear underline the car's uncompromisingly sporty nature. The reduced offset of the AMG wheels optimizes the track widths, and in conjunction with the widened rear fenders this lends the CL 55 AMG an even more imposing appearance. The high-performance wide-base tires of type "S-02 Pole Position" are supplied by the Japanese McLaren-Mercedes Formula 1 partner Bridgestone. Particularly dynamic handling is also ensured by the sporty configuration of the ABC suspension, which has won several awards. In addition to the "F1 Limited Edition" lettering on the front fenders, the interior of this exclusive Mercedes coupe also features cues from the motor racing activities of Mercedes-Benz. Numerous special characteristics distinguish the CL 55 AMG "F1 Limited Edition", which is available only in brilliant silver metallic, from its series-production counterpart: - "F1 Limited Edition" lettering on the center console, with consecutive numbering - Illuminated entry sills with "F1 Limited Edition" lettering - Front seats of ultra-sporty design with optimum lateral support, black/silver leather upholstery and embroidered AMG logo - AMG sport steering wheel with perforated leather wrap - Carbon decorative trim - Automatic shift lever in leather-carbon combination - Floor mats with AMG logo.
