We report on the closest view of a coronal mass ejection observed by theParker Solar Probe (PSP)/Wide-field Imager for {Parker} Solar PRobe (WISPR)instrument on September 05, 2022, when PSP was traversing from a distance of15.3~to~13.5~R$_\odot$ from the Sun. The CME leading edge and an arc-shaped{\emph{concave-up} structure near the core} was tracked in WISPR~field of viewusing the polar coordinate system, for the first time. Using the impactdistance on Thomson surface, we measured average speeds of CME leading edge andconcave-up structure as $\approx$2500~$\pm$~270\,km\,s$^{-1}$ and$\approx$400~$\pm$~70\,km\,s$^{-1}$ with a deceleration of$\approx$20~m~s$^{-2}$ for the later. {The use of the plane-of-sky approachyielded an unrealistic speed of more than three times of this estimate.} Wealso used single viewpoint STEREO/COR-2A images to fit the GraduatedCylindrical Shell (GCS) model to the CME while incorporating the source regionlocation from EUI of Solar Orbiter and estimated a 3D speed of$\approx$2700\,km\,s$^{-1}$. We conclude that this CME exhibits the highestspeed during the ascending phase of solar cycle 25. This places it in thecategory of extreme speed CMEs, which account for only 0.15\% of all CMEslisted in the CDAW CME catalog.
