- The AMG CLE 63 Coupe will reportedly be limited to just 30 units worldwide.
- Mercedes also revealed the new AMG G63 Cabriolet and AMG GT Black Series behind closed doors.
- The new E-Class will arrive in early 2028, initially as an EV.
“AMG without compromise.” That’s how Mercedes described its new high-performance coupe when it released teaser images earlier this year. Few details were shared, except that the tail-happy prototype is based on the CLE and the production model will be part of the ultra-exclusive “Mythos” series. While we wait for the camouflage to come off, dealers are already taking a peek at it.
Mercedes allegedly showed the CLE Coupe flagship car behind closed doors when meeting with dealers from the United States and Canada. Interestingly, Automotive News reported that the private event was not taking place in North America but in the company’s home region of Sindelfingen, Germany.
On Tuesday, sales representatives previewed a range of future products that include both ICE and EV lineups. Chief among them is the AMG CLE 63, which will apparently only sell 30 units worldwide. That would make it more exclusive than the original Mythos model, the roofless, windscreenless SL 63 sold as the PureSpeed in a run of 250 units.
The CLE 63 is said to have 646 horsepower, a huge jump of 203 hp over the CLE 53. While the report doesn’t specify the engine, it is confirmed to be a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. According to automatic carMercedes-AMG initially considered offering the top-level CLE with a four-cylinder plug-in hybrid setup borrowed from the C63. However, backlash over the sedan’s engine size reduction may have convinced Affalterbach to reconsider.
The 646 horsepower is expected to come entirely from the combustion engine, as the CLE 63 is unlikely to be a plug-in hybrid. Whether mild hybrid technology will be included remains to be seen, but either way, the V8 will do all the heavy lifting. When it officially launches, expect a six-figure price tag, especially considering the CLE 53 starts at just under $80,000 before options.
But flagship CLE isn’t the only car dealer that could see it early. Mercedes also launched the AMG G63 Cabriolet with four doors and a fabric roof that can be opened electrically. Automotive News reports that production will begin in Q3 2027, with arrival in the US the following year.
