Don't know what Mercedes calls it or if they even offer an orange anywhere in the world but I would call that color on a BS very cool! Do you know if that is/was a US car?

agreed! some nice black rims would set it off lovely alongside the carbon fiber...

Maybe its just red and looks orange under the garage lights

No it orange was also on the t.v. when they were testing all the different AMG's It was a while ago I think thats when they were introducing the black series

There is no factory paint that is Orange. Closest would be the Mars Red, which that certainly does not look like.

Mot likely it was a special order from the Performance Studio or the customer had it painted

I believe that is a "One-Off" color. Unless you have $$$$ to burn anything is possible.

SL55AMGSTER · 11-17-2008, 09:26 PM

Is that your clk dtm? did you order it like that?

JamE55 · 11-18-2008, 12:04 AM

I talked to the folks at AMG prior to my car being built. They had zero interest and refused to consider any alternate colors.
