The New Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Manufaktur Edition Gives the Coupe Even More Attitude
The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 just got more AMG.
Mercedes unveiled on Thursday the new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Manufaktur Edition, a version of the speedy coupe and cabriolet that is a lively celebration of AMG and a gift to AMG's many fans. The limited-edition model is to be sold at American dealerships later this year, Mercedes said. The coupe version of the car is painted Graphite Grey Magno with yellow rim flanges and AMG graphics on the side, along with 20-inch AMG wheels.

The convertible, or cabriolet, version of the car is painted in Starling Blue Magno, while the AMG graphic touches are in black and blue instead of yellow. The 20-inch wheels are AMG exclusive. Under the hood of both cars is a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder engine that makes 443 horsepower. Power runs through a 9-speed automatic transmission and variably goes to all four wheels.
The coupe also features various other AMG touches on the outside, including the front fascia, fenders, mirror housings, bumper, and tailpipes. The cabriolet, meanwhile, gets more carbon fiber to lighten the car and look good, including on the front fascia and rear bumper.
The inside gets standard a 'performance sound' system to customize engine noise in the cabin. Drivers and passengers will have the option of choosing between a balanced mix of engine noise and a 'powerful' mix of engine noise, depending on the mood. More importantly, not only will every other part of your new CLE scream AMG, but the car cover and fuel cap will, too.
'A final sophisticated detail of both the Coupe and Cabriolet is the AMG fuel cap in silver chrome with black design elements,' Mercedes says. 'Each AMG CLE MANUFAKTUR Edition model also includes a custom, edition-specific AMG indoor car cover.'
The brand did not release a price for the CLE 53 Manufaktur Edition, but the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe starts at $74,300, so you can expect the Manufaktur Edition to be a bit more. Mercedes also did not mention how many Manufaktur Edition CLE 53s it would be producing, other than to say they would be made in limited numbers. That could mean buyers should inquire early and often about getting one, or it could also mean that Mercedes-AMG could be persuaded to make a few more depending on of Robb Report
