The Coupe is based on the updated GLE (previously known as ML Class), which was launched late 2015. The front fascia is very much GLE like and the AMG bumper makes it look more aggressive. The sloping roofline is not only reminiscent of a coupe, but also clearly tells you that it’s targeted at BMW’s X6. The rear end reminds of the stunning S63 AMG Coupe. Adding to all these stunning looks are the 21 inch twin 5-spoke wheels.
