AMG CLE Mythos aims for extreme V8 power and track readiness

Mercedes‑AMG is preparing a hardcore CLE Coupé, the second model in the Mythos line, with a new twin‑turbo 4.0‑litre V8 featuring a flat‑plane crank that’s expected to push output beyond 650bhp and torque over 590 lb‑ft, enabling sub‑4.0sec 0–62mph and a top speed near 186mph. The car will sit on heavily revised underpinnings with a widened front track, lower ride height, carbon-fibre roof and a prominent rear wing, and will be produced in a limited run of around 250 units. It’s due to arrive for deliveries in 2027 after winter testing in Sweden and a later official unveiling this year, with the same engine also powering the updated S‑Class slated for reveal soon.
