CL55 F1 Edition?
What's the difference between the F1 Edition and the regular CL55 other than the limited number of them being built?

The CL55 F1 limited edition has ceramic brakes as well as special F1 rocker panels that replaced the AMG stainless Steel panels. The F1 also came with AMG embroidered two tone seats, stiffer suspension and carbon fiber interior pieces.

The transmission did not have the shifter padles as the above poster made reference to. 2003 CL55's will have the steering wheel mounted shifter padles however.

Thanks for posting the facts.
I would like to buy one of those AMG license plates. The one shown in your pictures on the pace cars.
Anybody know where to get them?

Anyway, even if MB did introduce Paddle Shifters, it'll probably be hooked up to an Automatic anyway. MB only produced 55 CL55s (heh) so.....
