CLE63 - Confirmed V-configuration Engine
Interesting article and pictures, a reporter has managed to get a photo underneath of the prototype CLE showing two exhaust manifolds, which confirms it has a V-configuration engine.
As the article also points out, MB haven't done a performance V6 in a long time, so it's likely the V8 that we've all been hoping for.

At this point I'm not sure I even care. The CLE53 weighs 4400 lb and costs almost $90,000. A V8 model would be over 4500 lb and be well over $100,000. Meanwhile in 2020 a C63 coupe started at $70,000. Sadly my income over the last 5 years hasn't gone up 60%. Guess I'm in the minority there, given vehicle prices these days.
