With the demise of Mercedes-Benz’s CLK-Class range in favor of a resurrected E-Class coupe and convertible, many motoring enthusiasts (us included) are eager to know when two-door versions of the wunderbar E63 AMG will be showing up in showrooms (or if they’re even coming down the pike at all). After all, not everyone who is in the market for such a vehicle wants the added heft (or cost) of the full-size CL63 AMG, nor do all people buy into a notion that a coupe can have more than one door per side, commercial success and critical acclaim of the CLS family be damned.
Thankfully, there’s no shortage of tuners willing to fill this hole in the AMG lineup. Some focus more on making the new E coupe’s already tasty lines (though the tiny fixed rear-quarter windows on what’s otherwise a proper “pillarless” hardtop like big sister CL still bug us) more distinctive, while some put more emphasis on performance. The new package from the folks at PRIOR Design lies somewhere in between those two extremes.
