Hardcore Mercedes-AMG CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung revealed with 475kW V8
Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung, a limited-edition, track-focused coupe featuring a powerful twin-turbo V8 engine. With only 250 units being produced, the vehicle emphasizes high performance and custom engineering over mass-market appeal.
Why it matters
The release showcases the brand's shift toward exclusive, high-performance 'Mythos' series vehicles to maintain prestige in the luxury automotive market.
The Mercedes-AMG CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung coupe has been revealed, packing a twin-turbo petrol V8 engine that produces 475kW (646hp, hence the name) and featuring a track-honed rear-wheel drive chassis. Limited to a global production run of just 250 cars, only 30 of which will be road-legal, the CLE 646 coupe is claimed to hit 100km/h in 3.9 seconds, reach 200km/h in 11.4 seconds, and hit 300km/h in 36.2 seconds, on its way to a 310km/h top speed. The CLE 646 is the second model from the Mercedes-Benz Mythos Series, which was announced as a sub-brand in 2022, following the wild, Formula 1-inspired 2024 Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed which was based on the Mercedes-AMG SL roadster. Mercedes-Benz Australia told CarExpert there are currently no plans to offer the CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung to customers here.
