As you may remember, last holiday season Mercedes and Saks Fifth Avenue teamed up to offer customers an exclusive collection of S600 models. The S-Class', all specially-equipped and priced at $145,775, were offered to customers through Saks' "The Gift" holiday catalogue, and immediately after debuting, sold out in an impressive seven minutes.

To recapitalize on Saks' customers apparent holiday cheer, Mercedes has announced today they'll be teaming up once again with their favorite New York-based retailer, this time offering a limited number of specially-equipped 2007 CL600 models. Featuring Mystic White exterior paint paired with Porcelain Nappa leather and Piano Lacquer Black wood trim, only 20 of the Saks special edition CL's will be produced, with pricing yet to be determined. All will be offered once again through Saks' "The Gift" holiday catalogue, which mails to customers in mid-October.

Get the checkbooks handy.

Of course, we'll be sure to inform you when pricing details are finalized. In the mean time, keep scrolling to view a lovely shot of the Saks special edition CL600's interior, followed by MBUSA's full press release. Enjoy.

• Pioneering technology meets bespoke luxury in limited edition of the world’s most desirable and highly anticipated super coupe

Montvale, NJ – Mercedes-Benz USA and Saks Fifth Avenue come together to offer the Signature Edition of the all-new flagship 2007 CL-Class coupe. Just 20 Signature Edition CL600 luxury coupes will be offered exclusively through Saks Fifth Avenue’s annual “The Gift” holiday catalog which mails to customers mid-October 2006.

Widely recognized as the world’s benchmark luxury coupe, the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class can trace its history back to the grand 300 S coupe in 1952. Today it continues to define the pinnacle of automotive innovation and design. The all-new 2007 CL-Class pairs its commanding presence on the road with revolutionary technology including Night View infra-red driving assistance, parking guidance system, PRE-SAFE brakes, Distronic PLUS and COMAND Plus, the intuitively centralized entertainment interface.

The eagerly awaited new CL-Class will make its official US debut at the Miami Auto Show this October and is expected to arrive in US showrooms in early 2006. The Signature Edition CL600, built exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue, offers elegance in abundance, with an exclusive color palette that suits the season – the exterior is Mystic White, paired with Porcelain Nappa leather interior and Piano Lacquer Black wood-trim. It also features 5-spoke 18” wheels and high-performance tires. Under the hood is a twin-turbo V12 that boasts a whopping 510 horsepower and 612 lb.-ft. of torque, propelling the grand coupe from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Pricing for this special-edition super coupe has yet to be announced.
