GTS Edition 1 Production Numbers?

Hi everyone,

I did a quick search and wasn't able to find any info. Does anyone know how many edition 1's were made? There is an old article that states 30 but I find that hard to believe given the amount that have shown up on the used market.

Thanks!

Who cares? It’s not an exclusive car. It’s not worth more.
it was just a GTS with aero package sold at a competitive price.

let me try to answer the o.p's question as well as "cutter64"
I believe the 30 you are referencing were for the Canadian market only with actual production being about 10x that number
as far as the 2nd post and 'who cares' well besides the brand new member who posted others may as well...more curiously...why be such a dick?

First edition has that dynamic select suspension with active engine mounts, making the car a lot stiffer. I would drive both select a non-select suspension to find your preference.

I also had one when they first came out. MB gave one to each dealer in the U.S. without allocation requirement to get the new generation under the eyes and in the hands of potential customers.

personally the Edition1 worked well for me as I otherwise would have added the rear spoiler, side skirts... also like the cf roof

I actually really like the edition 1's fixed spoiler. Im not sure how it would look on a roadster, otherwise I would have gotten it installed.
