Mercedes Had The Nurburgring All To Itself For Wild AMG V8 Coupe Test

As we learned earlier this week, the V8-powered AMG C63 sadly isn’t coming back anytime soon. However, Mercedes will soon have an eight-cylinder coupe derived from the same sports sedan. This delightfully hardcore CLE is about to become the second member of the company’s ultra-exclusive Mythos series, following the SL-based PureSpeed launched a couple of years ago.

According to YouTuber Carspotter Jeroen, who shot the video, Mercedes rented the Nürburgring for a private test session with the Mythos-spec CLE. That meant the company had the track all to itself, without worrying about potential interference from other automakers' prototypes. Booking the Nordschleife for solo testing usually happens late in the development process, so the world premiere is likely drawing closer.
