The Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG (W215) was a high-performance grand tourer from Mercedes-Benz and was one of the most advanced cars from the company at the time. The CL 55 AMG was the world's first production car to be equipped with an ultra high-performance ceramic braking system, which was exclusive to the F1 Edition model. Customers had the choice of equipping any CL model with exclusive 'designo' packages. These included luxury goodies such as a custom metallic paint, exotic wood or granite trim, and custom colour Nappa leather interior.
