2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK Grand Edition: the last one?

May 7th, 2008

Mercedes-Benz is due to start selling the next iteration of its popular CLK coupe-convertible later this year or in the beginning of 2009.

So it’s absolutely normal that sales of the current model are starting to stall and the company just have to offer some special edition version of the car to draw some public attention.

Here comes the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK Grand Edition.

The CLK Grand Edition is just another special trim with no noticeable technical differences comparing to other CLK versions.

It comes equipped with a set of 18-inch alloy wheels fitted with 225/40 tires in the front and 255/35 tires in the back. There is also an AMG-style body kit with new front and rear bumpers and side skirts and Grand Edition badges on the body.

Inside the car, there is aluminum trim on the dashboard, branded floor mats and either tobacco-brown or black leather upholstery.

The Grand Edition trim may be ordered as an option for all CLK models except for the high-performance CLK 63 AMG.

Surprisingly enough, the option will cost you only €994. Is that some kind of typo?
