These latest pictures, taken at the Nurburgring, reveal new side vents and wheels, although we’ve already got a good idea as to how the CLE will look in its hottest form. Compared with the standard car, we’ll see wider wheel haunches housing a larger, bespoke set of wheels with a beefier brake set-up behind. To the front there will be the same ‘Panamerica’ grille but with a special AMG insert. The lower part of the front bumper will be revised to add extra cooling to the engine bay, and give the AMG model a more aggressive look.
A core design trait of full-fat AMG models is the quad-tip exhaust layout, clearly visible on the test car we’ve spotted. There could also be a new rear light signature, while on the bootlid there’s a small lip spoiler.
Rather than go down the route of the new E-Class’ interior with the optional ‘Superscreen’ dash layout, the CLE will borrow plenty of elements from the C-Class. Inside the CLE 63, we expect the same overall cabin at the standard CLE, but with the typical AMG garnish of sportier bucket seats, an AMG steering wheel and some extra performance-focused driving modes.
What do you think of the new Mercedes-AMG CLE 63? Let us know in the comments below…
