Do these special cars come with CCB? I don’t see gold calipers.

I found this but I highly doubt it is OEM: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204168771372

I have the optional one with the alcantara. I want the carbon fiber with alcantara. Looks like it'll match the carbon fiber interior too.

I wonder if these super-duper 232’s will have the same electronic gremlins as the standard examples? Just think, $284K and frustrating battery issues. I wonder how the Maybach editions are holding up.

$284K.............how? why? I can't imagine many people buying one for anywhere close to $284K.

My limited imagination also questions the number of Mercedes "Pimp Editions" (Maybach) being sold. Actually, I've read R232 sales are abysmal.

Are the 2024 or 2025 cars any more glitch free????

If this becomes a collectible by any chance it "might?" be worth it. Especially if it is limited production, is it though? I know the pure speed is limited production though, we can say the same about that price, that is even more expensive.
