All 2008 CLS models come fitted with the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission as standard. In manual shift mode "M", the driver is able to shift through the gears using shift paddles on the steering wheel if desired. This shortens the 0-100 km/h acceleration time by 0.2 seconds.
CLS 63 AMG flagship model with AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC
The flagship model in the CLS range, the CLS 63 AMG, is powered by the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine with 378 kW/514 hp and 630 Newton metres of torque. The high-revving, naturally aspirated engine now makes its presence known in an even more distinctive fashion: the AMG sports exhaust system's redesigned rear silencers deliver an even more captivating soundtrack through the two sets of oval-shaped, chromed twin tailpipes. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission now incorporates a function which blips the throttle automatically during downshifts. This does more than just intensify the emotive driving experience - the virtually load-free downshift procedure also leads to a reduction in load-alteration effects, which is of particular benefit when braking ahead of corners on the race track. The CLS 63 AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, while its top speed is limited electronically to 250 km/h.

Elite Sports
Sure thats by Vorbild Elite Sports.

Elite Sports has tried to create a new exterior body kit for the great Mercedes-Benz CLS. The new body kit is painted completely in white and even though this color might seem a bit too simple for someone, i think it fits the car perfectly. The body kit is made from front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a GT spoiler. From what i know it costs about $7,500 but if you’ll watch a photo of a stock CLS Mercedes and compare it with this one you will be amazed how good this one looks and how nice it looks. The car has gained a sportier, more agressive look and those black rims add a great contrast to this car. The guys from Elite Sports also included a slight performance tuning kit for the car’s V8 engine and exhaust system. They also installed new Endless/Ewig brake system because you have to stop this monster when it gains an incredible speed. There’s one thing that i don’t like though. They’ve replaced that great Mercedes emblem with one where it’s written “Vb” from Vorbild. Some people would buy a Mercedes just for that emblem and if i were to buy this body kit, i’d love it with the old Mercedes emblem instead of this one with “Vb”.

2006 CLS55 AMG President Edition
It is a special car..Only 12 were made and that was one of the reasons I had to have it since I probably wouldnt be able to find another!
I noticed the guages too...I think in all of the 63 models they changed them to black instead of white like the 55 models.
I am glad to see that everyone likes it so I will try to take some good pictures and post them on here as soon as possible!

Ya! I noticed that the seats were pretty bright too in the pics. The seats arent really that bright red..I will take some better shots and post them asap so you can see what they really look like. I was told the seats are the same color they put in the SLR McLaren the 300SL red.

2006 CLS55 AMG President Edition
Believe it or not I am having trouble myself finding info on the president edition CLS55's. When I bought the car I spoke with a few of my local MB dealers and they all told me that only 12 were ever built and they were originally for the MB of North America Top Board members. The window sticker even states "President Edition" in the exclusive options list. I will keep searching for some info on it and if I come across any I will post a link.
