BMW M440i rival gets 442bhp, bespoke AMG styling upgrades and performance-oriented chassis tweaks
The new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 cabriolet has been revealed as Affalterbach’s entry-level performance drop-top, going after the BMW M440i with 442bhp, more aggressive styling and a brace of performance-focused chassis upgrades. Arriving as the latest model from Mercedes’ performance division to be given a mild-hybrid powertrain - joining the A 45, C 43, and GT 53 four-door - it uses the same 'M256’ 3.
Its twin-scroll turbochargers have been beefed up with a pressure-boosting electric compressor that produces 39 lb ft of additional torque in 10sec bursts. A separate electric compressor also works to improve both off-the-line performance and low-down grunt. The soft-top has also been given a raft of styling upgrades to match its AMG billing.
