Mercedes-AMG is far from finished with the CLE for the time being. The model that bridges the gap between the Mercedes-Benz C-class and E-class as a coupe and convertible is already available in AMG guise as a 449 hp mild-hybrid 53 and soon there will also be a 600 hp strong one. 53 with plug power. That doesn’t make the party complete, because here we see the Mercedes-AMG CLE 63 and it seems to bring old-fashioned fuel violence with it. Mercedes-AMG CLE 63 Rumor has it that Mercedes-Benz does not want such a powertrain for the most powerful CLE due to the poor reception of the plug-in hybrid Mercedes-AMG C63. Mercedes-AMG itself has already indicated that there will ‘simply’ be a 4.0 biturbo V8 in the nose of the CLE 63. How much power it delivers remains to be seen. However, he must come from a good background to surpass the 53-with-plug. In addition to a 63 without plug-in power, there may also be one with an electric motor and battery pack. We also know this approach with the SL and AMG GT, for example.
