Supersportler: Nur 30 Stück: Mercedes-AMG CLE 646 sprintet auf 310 km/h
Kleine Stückzahlen, hohe Preise: Was beim Mercedes SL mit dem Pure Speed funktioniert hat, will AMG nun beim CLE 646 wiederholen - mit Breitbau-Karosse, bollerndem V8 und einem satten Preisaufschlag.
Mercedes-AMG has introduced the second model of their Mythos series, the hardcore variant of the CLE, dubbed the CLE 646 sprint. Based on the SL, this Coupé features a carbon fiber widebody chassis, a powerful rear wing, and a redesigned interior with paddle shifters. The system has been streamlined by removing many assistance systems, resulting in a simplified control system.
A completely new powertrain replaces the previous 475 PS 4.0-liter V8, generating 475 kW and 646 PS, which is the source of its name. Notably, this lighter variant of the CLE 646 does not come with all-wheel drive, utilizing its power solely through the rear axle.
The car achieves zero to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of 310 km/h. Mercedes-Benz estimates the vehicle's fuel consumption to be 15.8 liters and its CO2 emissions at 359 g/km. Due to the radical modification and the limited production run of up to 30 units, the price of the CLE 646 sprint is significantly higher than its predecessor, the CLE 53 Coupé, which retails for 79,115 euros. The manufacturer indicates that the new model will cost approximately ten times more.
