AMG pumps up the latest Mercedes mid-size two-door.
'We're going to pump——you up!' One imagines Hans, Franz, and all their pals at AMG reacting thusly to the new Mercedes-Benz CLE coupe, which debuted last summer in four-cylinder CLE300 and six-cylinder CLE450 form. After a muscle-building regimen at AMG HQ in Affalterbach, the result is the Mercedes-AMG CLE53.
An AMG Driver's package available in other markets raises the speed limiter from 155 mph to 168 mph, but it won't be offered in the U.S.Driving the CLE53The boosted six fires up without the throat-clearing of AMG's V-8s, and even with the active exhaust switched into its more vocal program, there's only the faintest burble when lifting off the throttle. Still, the engine sounds great as it climbs the tach, and we don't miss the theatricality—although some might.
