Mercedes-AMG Puts CLE-Based Mythos Halo Coupe Through Arctic Tests

Mercedes confirms cold-weather development of an ultra-limited statement model, with final specifications and timing still to be announced.

Overview

  • Official images show a camouflaged, widened coupe in Sweden with enlarged intakes, flared arches, carbon-ceramic brakes, a visible roll cage and a prominent rear wing.
  • The prototype is the second entry in AMG’s ultra-exclusive Mythos series after the PureSpeed, positioning it as a collector-focused halo rather than a regular CLE variant.
  • AMG describes the car as “exceptionally extreme” and a “genuine statement” backed by a powerful drivetrain, without confirming engine or output details.
  • Multiple outlets report the model will use Mercedes’ new flat‑plane crank 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 and target more than about 650 hp and roughly 800 Nm, which remains unconfirmed by the automaker.
  • Mercedes has not announced production numbers, pricing or a reveal date, with some reports pointing to production later in 2026 and initial deliveries in 2027.
