The Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class is a unique vehicle in the German brand's lineup, offering a blend of performance and affordability. The upcoming 'Mythos' model, teased on Tuesday, appears to be a heavily performance-oriented AMG product based on the CLE-Class coupe.
With its massive rear wing and camouflaged design, the car seems to be targeted at collectors rather than track enthusiasts. The 'Mythos' line is a new designation for Mercedes, replacing previous models such as the CLE 63 AMG Black Series.
This limited variant of the coupe is expected to join the SL-based AMG PureSpeed as the second-ever car in the 'Mythos' lineup. 0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8.
The choice of engine would seem out of place for a relatively humble inline six found in the current CLE AMG 53 model. The 'Mythos' model is expected to be produced in low thousands, making it a pinnacle model for a specific set of buyers.
Fans of hardcore AMG performance models may be disappointed that this car does not seem to be a Black Series model, as teased by Mercedes late last year. Instead, the company has revealed another camouflaged AMG model with a massive rear wing, which appears to focus on actual grand touring rather than track performance.
The 'Mythos' line seems to be aimed at catering to a specific segment of collectors and enthusiasts who crave high-performance vehicles. With its unique design and powerful engine options, this car has the potential to be an exciting addition to Mercedes' lineup.
