The Real Car
The Carrera slotcar is based on the first generation Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (type X164), which was produced between 2006 and 2012.
Although Carrera used the "Limited Edition 1/1000" designation purely for the edition of their own toy model, Mercedes-Benz has indeed released exclusive special versions of this car in real life.
The real "Special Editions" of the GL-Class (X164):
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Grand Edition (2011)
This is the most exclusive factory version that Mercedes released at the time just before the end of the first generation.
Exterior: Recognizable by the dark tinted headlights, a high-gloss black grille and special 20-inch alloy wheels in Himalayan grey.
Interior: Equipped with two-tone designo leather (e.g. black/porcelain), matte black ash and a special "Grand Edition" badge on the center console.
The Carrera-specific versions in real life:
The "Pressevorstellung" / Press Event (Silver/Chrome): Carrera released a shiny edition inspired by the official introductory cars that Mercedes-Benz used at international car fairs and press events.
Matt black / Matt white: Although matt black was very popular with exclusive tuning companies at the time (such as Brabus or AMG), Mercedes supplied this generation of GL at the time mainly in metallic and uni paints.
Specifications of the real car:
Size: A giant 7-person luxury SUV of more than 5 meters long.
Engines: Available as powerful V6 diesel (GL 320/350 CDI) or thick V8 petrol (GL 450 and GL 500).
Technique: Always equipped with 4MATIC all-wheel drive and AIRMATIC air suspension that allowed the car to be significantly increased for off-road use
