In addition to the folding roof, the interior of the car is equipped with an 11.9-inch display multimedia system with an adjustable tilt (which cancels the reflection of sunlight), a neck heater and an Aircap system to eliminate noise and air turbulence.

The same powertrain is used by the recently revealed AMG CLE 53 Coupé. The engine is paired with a 9-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels (4Matic+). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds (only 0.1 second slower than the Coupe version) with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

That’s enough power to push the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3 seconds, which is 0.4 seconds faster than the factory model. It reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.5 seconds, with a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph).

This model is based on the GT R, and is equipped with improved suspension that provides better stability in all driving situations, rear spoiler like the one used by AMG GT4 race cars which increases downforce, carbon front vents (which makes the front of the car look even more aggressive), improved brake cooling system, and high performance brake calipers.
