The Star Wars-Themed Mercedes

To help commemorate the 40th anniversary of the cult classic Star Wars franchise, Mercedes-Benz have created a limited edition of its CLA 180 model that come in Stormtrooper White and Darth Vader Black.



May the fourth be with you might have been and gone, but from a galaxy far far away comes the ultimate in Star Wars memorabilia  - the Star Wars inspired Mercedes CLA 180.

There are some minor differences between the two models. The Calcite White cars will get black trim accents on the outside, while the black interior gets white trim on the seats, steering wheel, and instrument cluster. The Night Black models keep the murdered-out look with 18-inch AMG wheels, while the interior gets red accents in place of the white ones in the other model.

Performance-wise, each comes equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder turbo drive engine — good for 120 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque.



Of course, no special edition would be complete without a plethora of Star Wars badges and accents, which include Star Wars floor mats and a special anniversary license plate frame.  There is also a puddle light that says Star Wars (as opposed to the Mercedes-Benz logo), a recorder that plays R2-D2 noises, while the menu display features key characters such as Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker, and – the piece de resistance (maybe) - a reversible sun shade that makes the front window look like the Millennium Falcon.

Take a look below for more pictures, although strangely enough it won’t be available in the US though, as Star Wars have struck up a similar exclusive deal with Nissan to produce the ‘Nissan Rogue’.
