- Mercedes-AMG has introduced a new special edition based on the CLE 53 Coupe and Convertible.
- The cars have a Manufaktur paint job, special graphics, active engine mounts, and extra kit.
- Both are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that produces 443 hp and 443 lb-ft.
Spring has finally sprung and Mercedes-AMG is celebrating with a new CLE Manufaktur Edition. It’s based on the 2026 CLE 53 Pinnacle and will be available as a coupe and a convertible.
Set to arrive at U.S. dealerships later this year, the special editions each have a unique personality. The coupe expresses sportiness as it features a Manufaktur Graphite Grey Magno exterior with yellow AMG graphics. They’re joined by unique 20-inch wheels sporting a black and yellow design.

The model also comes equipped with the AMG Night Plus, AMG Performance Studio, and AMG Dynamic Plus packages. These add gloss black accents, flics, a rear spoiler, and active engine mounts – among other things.
Moving inside, drivers will find AMG performance seats wrapped in black Nappa leather and yellow contrast stitching. They’re joined by carbon fiber trim, yellow accented floor mats, and yellow illuminated door sill plates.
The convertible is more restrained as it features a classier Manufaktur Starling Blue Magno paint job that is accompanied by black and blue AMG graphics. Customers will also find bright 20-inch wheels with black accents.
Since the drop top comes standard with the AMG Carbon Fiber I and II packages, the model sports a number of carbon fiber components including mirror caps and a rear spoiler. They’re joined by active engine mounts thanks to the AMG Dynamic Plus package.
The changes continue inside as there are white Nappa leather seats with contrasting black accents. Customers will also find matching floor mats as well as door sill plates with white illumination.
Regardless of which body style is chosen, buyers will find a silver chrome AMG fuel cap. The cars also come with an indoor cover, which is unique to the special edition.
Both CLEs are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that produces 443 hp (330 kW / 449 PS) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system.
Mercedes didn’t mention U.S. pricing, but the special editions will also be available in Europe. Over there, it’s known as the Limited Edition and will be launched in July.
