Its a known fact that bright color cars attract the Police , Especially red . And IMO the only cars that should be red is Ferrari and Porsche .

Thanks for helping to answer a question I have had for awhile....."what would a red E55 look like?"

That is way to over the top for my taste....black or white for the win!

I had a CLK55 in that color and loved it BUT I'm not feeling it on the E55. White with Pano is my favorite.

That color for an E55 is rare and beautiful, but I don't think it is worth the premium asking price of $79K (US dollars). You're easily paying almost 50 grand for paint. Performancewise, 368 Kw is stock power for most E55s. Taking a look at it would be nice though, I just think the seller is crazy.

Just for a laugh you should check out the list price of one of those in Australia, they are just more expensive there.

$80,806 on current exchange rate. But as I said, thats actually on the lower end of the scale for E55's.

My mechanic has a 2005 Red Presidential Edition E55 with carbon fiber factory interior and was the first to have been manufactured for that year.He said that the Red Presidential Edition was retailed for well over $1ook .
