Mercedes-AMG CLE 63 Spied Testing; V8 Engine May Return

Recently, overseas automotive media outlet CarBuzz released a set of spy photos showing the Mercedes-AMG CLE 63 undergoing road testing. The vehicle’s exterior details strongly suggest it will be powered by a V8 engine. The test car features AMG’s signature “Panamericana” grille and square quad exhaust tips—a design exclusive to the high-performance “63” series, distinguishing it from the circular exhausts found on “53” series models like the CLE 53. Additionally, the front fascia includes large air intakes designed to meet the cooling demands of its high-performance powertrain and braking system. Based on these characteristics, media outlets speculate that the car is highly likely to be equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, marking a powerful return of the V8 to AMG’s mid-size sports coupe lineup.
