Mercedes-AMG has unveiled a limited-edition hyper coupe, 'Mercedes-AMG CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung (Spezialanfertigung),' focused purely on driving performance. As the second model in the Mios series, this vehicle is limited to just 30 units worldwide and sold out completely before its world premiere due to its unique collectible value.
At the heart of the vehicle lies a significantly upgraded AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine, delivering a maximum output of 646 horsepower and a peak torque of 850Nm. Instead of the existing all-wheel-drive system, it adopts a rear-wheel-drive configuration, combining an electronically controlled torque vectoring rear differential with the AMG Speedshift TCT 9G transmission.
It accelerates from a standstill to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds and reaches 200km/h in just 11.4 seconds, with a top speed of 310km/h. Additionally, through a dedicated traction control system, drivers can precisely adjust drive wheel slip across nine levels. The launch of this high-performance coupe powered solely by an internal combustion engine, without any assistance from electrified powertrains, comes as a rare model to receive praise from motor enthusiasts in recent times when such launches are almost non-existent.
The project also focused on lightweighting and improving aerodynamic performance. Carbon fiber materials were applied to the entire body, including the roof, bonnet, and wide fenders, while rear seats and unnecessary sound-deadening materials were removed, reducing weight by approximately 170kg compared to the standard Yangsan model. This aligns with a strategy to enjoy the noise of a high-performance sports coupe. Polycarbonate material was used for the rear window and side windows, and a wide body with front and rear tracks widened by 60mm each, along with a manually adjustable front diffuser and rear wing, generates over 250kg of downforce in the top-speed range. Equipped with a four-way adjustable coil-over suspension co-developed with KW Automotive and an AMG ceramic high-performance brake system, driving stability is maximized. The vehicle is completed through rigorous handcrafted processes at the Mercedes-AMG headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany.
