The last car was a CLS550 built for an American customer who specified the AMG styling package, premium leather upholstery, bi-xenon headlights, and other goodies.

Michael Schumacher has admitted that his blocking of Rubens Barrichello in
Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix was "too hard". Schumacher almost edged
Barrichello into the pit wall as he tried in vain to stop his former team mate
