Offered here is a Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG IWC Ingenieur, a limited edition model produced in collaboration with the Swiss watchmaker, IWC Schaffhausen. As such, it has the supercharged 5. 4-litre V8 engine producing 469bhp and incorporates all the advanced technology found on the standard CLS-Class offerings. Naturally, it also features many AMG performance enhancements including, in this case, larger brake discs with eight-piston callipers; wider 19" alloy wheels; revised and stiffened suspension with multiple modes; AMG bodywork; and five-speed automatic transmission. The IWC Ingenieur also features exclusive dark titanium grey metallic paintwork, while a matte titanium finish is applied to most of the exterior trim, matching the titanium case of IWC's 'Ingenieur AMG' watch, an example of which was given to every purchaser of this limited edition motorcar. This synergy extends to the interior, which features various cosmetic enhancements and a completely redesigned instrument cluster with the analogue clock, speedometer and tachometer styled along the lines of the 'IWC Ingenieur' watch. At time of cataloguing the only production figures found were those for the UK Market (3 Units).
This immaculate and exclusive modern Mercedes has covered circa 87, 000 miles from new and comes with full service history (over 100 individual documents/ receipts totalling more than £18, 000). The service booklet was last stamped on 25/ 01/ 2021 at 85, 900 miles. The car also comes with an owner's manual; EU Certificate of Conformity; pre-delivery inspection document; and a V5C. A rare beast indeed.
