The first generation of the CLS, the Mercedes-Benz W219, was based on a six inches (152 mm) longer version of the W211 E-Class platform. IVM Automotive, a subsidiary of German roof system specialist Edscha, developed the entire vehicle from the Vision concept to the production version. More than 150 IVM engineers were involved, making the CLS the largest vehicle development project in the company's history.[citation needed] Design patents were first filed on July 24, 2002.[4]
The production version CLS 500 made its debut at the 2004 New York International Auto Show, as well as the 2004Bologna Motor Show.
European models went on sale in 2004. United States went on sale in January 2005, initially including CLS 500 and CLS 55 AMG. The first one for the export markets rolled off the assembly line on December 2, 2004. In 2006, Mercedes phased out both the 5.0L in the CLS 500 and 5.5L Supercharged V8 in the CLS 55 AMG in favor of two new 5.5L and 6.2L V8s. This resulted in the 2007 model year name change to the CLS 63 AMG (6.2L V8) and CLS 550 (5.5L V8) in the United States. The CLS 500 badge continues to be used in various markets with the 5.5L V8engine.
The 2012 CLS 550 had a base price of US$72,175 in June 2011 (equivalent to £47786 today), with the CLS 55 starting at US$87,320.
