Hey Everyone,

Well a couple months back I sold my WW EVO IX RS. I drove that car for about a year and half and had my fun with it. I had a few bolt ons running consistent 11.5 @ 116mph at the strip. It was in very good shape for having 90k miles on it. It was great for a DD and a blast to drive, But at that time I felt like I needed to get into something else. I still have my black drag EVO " Junk Box" and that keeps me busy enough.

I really had my eyes on the new MB CLA 45 AMG coming out. It's like an EVO, but basically the luxury amenities of a Benz. I planned to order one, but wasn't promised a day they would be in from the dealer. They're supposed to come out in November, but they are hard to get since there so brand new. There was one available for mid November, but with tax/title etc it was just shy of $65K and that wasn't with every option either. Which I wasn't buying lol.

I deal with Chicago Motor Cars here in the Chicago land area which I recommend anyone to go check out there place or give them a call. They have a huge selection of different cars and two big facilities. Go check them out

I went there about a month ago on Wednesday to check out some cars. I was ready to buy since I sold the EVO. I was looking at a CTS-V and a couple others. They showed me this rare CLS 55 AMG IWC edition. Only 55 made which is crazy. International Watch Company designed the car and made changes to it. The color and the added details to this car is amazing. You definitely don't see this car anywhere since there so hard to come by. I had to have it, I loved the way it drove and looked. Have to see this car in person.

The car is a fully loaded CLS 55 AMG IWC with 40k miles which is nothing. Car is literally brand new. It's a 5.5L Supercharged motor and I ran 12.9 @ 107mph at the drag strip with it some weeks back. I left everything in the car, didn't take any tire pressure out, didn't do a burnout and left easy and went 12.9. Car can definitely run quicker, but I told myself ill make one pass and if I go 12s I'm happy and I'm done lol. Car flies on the track and on the street and is very comfortable. I have plans to lower it slightly, buy a new set of wheels but keep the stock ones since they match some parts of the exterior and the seats.

Here's a couple pics of the car, I will upload more with a better camera. I just wanted to share with everyone I'll get some interior shots as well.

 

Looks good but I'm curious what else iwg did to the car.

 

IWC. The color of the car, the color of the rims, exterior trim, color of the seats in the interior, a little different gauge cluster with a couple IWC badges. Suede headliner and it's fully loaded. You also get a watch with the car when you buy it brand new. IWC gives you one.

 

Haha fancy still the same 470hp?

 

Yea 470hp and I think it's like 510tq.

 

thats very very nice, stay classy ! whats the name of that color?

 

Looks great but where are the interior and engine shots?

 

I'm going to take some interior and engine bay shots tomorrow. Weather is terrible right now. I'll upload some tomorrow
