In today’s SUV-dominated era and with the rise of electric vehicles, coupes powered by traditional engines face a difficult market. Mercedes, however, believes it has found a solution to satisfy both accountants and enthusiasts. How? By replacing the C63 Coupe and E63 Coupe with the all-new CLE 63 Coupe. Recently, spy photographers managed to capture a heavily camouflaged prototype of this sporty luxury two-door in action at the famous Nürburgring track.

Although covered in camouflage, there are some key details that reveal it is the high-performance “63” version. Just take a look at the rear, where the rectangular quad exhausts catch the eye. The coupe’s design showcases a full production body, featuring a prominent rear spoiler, large air intakes, and the signature Panamericana grille. Its lowered, rigid suspension, along with the larger wheels and brakes, indicate a car that sticks to the road with utmost precision.
