The CLA-Class is, in all likelihood, still wet behind the ears, having only been around for a little over a month. But that hasn't stopped the German automaker->ke187 from rolling out a limited-edition version of the compact four-door coupe for its home-countryclientele.

It's called the CLA Edition 1 and it'll only be available for the first 12 months of the CLA-CLass' lifespan. What it means is you have pretty much the entire year to buy one. Otherwise, well, you're going to be out of luck.

It's limited nature allows it to be completely distinct from the rest of its kind and that was made evident by a number of aesthetic enhancements, including a choice of five different colors - Cosmos Black, Mountain Grey, Cirrus White, Night Black and Designo Polar Silver Magno - to go with an AMG "Sport" package that features new bumpers with larger air intakes, enhanced skirts, and a set of black multi-spoke alloy wheels.

Inside, Mercedes dressed up the CLA Edition 1 with what it calls NEON ART, a fancy way of saying the interior features leather and microfiber upholstery with yellow stitching. Add a new Nappa leather-wrapped flat-bottomed sports steering wheel, and a new aluminum finish trim and there you have it, folks: Edition 1!

For the chance to own one, you probably need to be in Germany because the model will be exclusively sold there at a price of €35,402 ($47,400) for the base CLA 180 all the way up to €44,625 ($60,000) for the CLA 250 Sport.
