The cars are available in a dual-tone shade
The GLS Edition 100 has the proportions of an SUV while the S-Class Edition 100 is a sedan. The GLS rides on unique-looking forged wheels and sports a double-M badge on the D-pillar with an "Edition 100" plaque beneath it. The S-Class gets special badges on the C-pillars.
