The CLE63 Mythos is Mercedes-AMG turning its already-sleek CLE coupe into something far more ferocious: a hardcore, track-focused flagship revealed in first official images carving through Scandinavian snow as the second entry in AMG's ultra-rare Mythos series. AMG promises an even more uncompromising appearance built to read as a genuine statement on the road, headlined by a towering, swan-neck rear wing that frames the car as a bewinged, no-nonsense machine rather than a subtle grand tourer.
What is the AMG CLE Mythos?
The AMG CLE Mythos is a strictly limited, collector-grade version of the CLE coupe positioned above the entire existing range. The current quickest CLE you can buy is the CLE 53, and there is no standard CLE 63 yet, which leaves this Mythos-badged coupe sitting at the very top of the family in both intent and attitude. Mercedes-AMG describes it as filled with obscene amounts of horsepower, backed by a correspondingly powerful drivetrain and performance to match. As a benchmark for what Mythos can deliver, AMG's first Mythos model, the PureSpeed, ran a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 producing 577bhp, underscoring that this program chases genuinely high outputs rather than mild special editions.
How extreme is the CLE 63 Mythos aero?
The aero package is the defining feature. The huge adjustable rear wing rides on big metal arms in a swan-neck design, generating serious downforce rather than decorative drama, and it is paired with a reworked diffuser and four trapezoidal exhaust tips. Spy footage and renderings have drawn constant comparisons to the legendary CLK Black Series, casting the CLE 63 Mythos as a modern track-bred icon. According to Motor1, the hardcore coupe has already been spied testing with V8 power, confirming the muscular hardware under the dramatic bodywork.
Why does the CLE Mythos cost so much and stay so rare?
The real differentiator is exclusivity. Mythos is explicitly framed as very expensive and very limited, aimed at collectors rather than broad showroom appeal. The PureSpeed sets a stark precedent: only 250 were built and they cost around GBP 800k each, so a stratospheric CLE Mythos price and tight production numbers are firmly on the cards. AMG has said it will reveal what powers this second Mythos car, how many will be made, and how much it will cost in due course. Until those final details land, the story is already clear: this is a rare, winged, uncompromising CLE-derived statement piece engineered to be exceptional by output and extreme by posture, with the Mythos badge acting as a guarantee of scarcity and spectacle.
