Last month Mercedes-Benz USA announced that for the sixth consecutive year, they along with the EIF Women's Cancer Research Fund and Saks Fifth Avenue would be teaming up for the KEY TO THE CURE initiative.  As part of their support, MBUSA announced their plans to introduce a special edition model to benefit the cause – a 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 clad in a Diamond White metallic exterior paint color and featuring a Sahara beige and black interior – with proceeds from the limited edition model expected to raise more than $1 million dollars for women's cancer research.

Today this model has been added to MBUSA.com, with a somewhat more comprehensive listing of the various features found on the special edition S550.  Highlights include an AMG sport package, heated and active ventilated front seats, drive-dynamic multicontour front seats (each with 4-level massage), Bluetooth interface with hands-free calling, Parktronic audiovisual parking assistant, Keyless Go and a rear view camera, all of which compliment the S550's already lengthy list of standard features.

If you're interested in learning more about the special edition 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550, you can find additional details of the model in the brochure below (as always, click to enlarge). You can also head directly to MBUSA.com's special edition S550 page, where you can find a full list of dealers in your area that can help you procure the new model.

Enjoy.
