Mercedes-AMG Unveils 1,153 HP Electric GT 4-Door Coupe

Mercedes-AMG has officially revealed the all-new AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, and it could become one of the most extreme electric performance cars ever developed by AMG.

Built on the brand’s new AMG.EA electric performance platform, the new GT 4-Door Coupe introduces:

  • Three axial flux electric motors
  • Up to 1,153 hp
  • 1999 Nm torque
  • 800-volt architecture

Hypercar-Level Performance

The flagship Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupe can sprint from 0-100 kph in just 2 seconds.

While top speed is electronically limited to 299 kph with the optional AMG Performance Package.

Mercedes-AMG says the car uses:

  • Two rear-mounted axial flux motors
  • One front-mounted motor

to deliver fully variable all-wheel-drive performance.

Formula 1-Inspired Battery Technology

The new AMG also debuts a completely new AMG High Performance Electric Battery inspired by Formula 1 hybrid technology.

The 106kWh battery uses:

  • Directly cooled cylindrical cells
  • 800V architecture
  • Full-tab cell technology

Mercedes-AMG claims the car supports 600 kW DC fast charging, allowing around 460 km of range in just 10 minutes.

AMG Wants It to Feel Like a V8

One of the most interesting features is AMGFORCE Sport+ mode, which simulates:

  • V8 engine sound
  • Gear shifts
  • Exhaust burbles
  • Vibrations and haptic feedback

Mercedes-AMG says the system uses more than 1,600 sound files to recreate the emotional feel of a traditional AMG V8.

Futuristic AMG Cabin

Inside, the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe gets a heavily tech-focused cabin with a large portrait-style infotainment screen, digital instrument cluster, and AMG-specific performance displays. Mercedes-AMG has also added sporty bucket seats, illuminated interior trims, and extensive use of carbon fibre and Alcantara to maintain the car’s aggressive character.

Despite the futuristic layout, AMG says the cabin still focuses heavily on driver engagement rather than just minimalistic EV design.

Radical Design and Aero

The new GT 4-Door Coupe features:

  • Illuminated AMG grille
  • Six circular taillights
  • Active aerodynamic systems
  • Venturi-effect underbody aero elements

AMG also claims the car achieves a 0.22 drag coefficient despite its aggressive styling.

How It Compares to the AMG CONCEPT GT XX

The Mercedes-AMG CONCEPT GT XX is far more extreme than the production-ready Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe.

While the GT 4-Door Coupe focuses on combining everyday usability with high performance, the GT XX acts more like a futuristic technology showcase for AMG’s next-generation EVs.

The GT XX produces over 1,360 hp, which is even more than the GT 4-Door Coupe’s 1,153 hp.

It also gets more advanced aerodynamics, faster charging tech and a much more radical interior inspired by Formula 1 cars. In simple terms, the GT 4-Door Coupe is the car customers will actually buy, while the GT XX shows how interesting AMG’s future electric performance cars could become.

Expected Rivals

The new AMG GT 4-Door Coupe will rival:

  • Porsche Taycan Turbo GT
  • Audi RS e-tron GT
  • Lotus Emeya
  • Tesla Model S Plaid
  • Lucid Air Sapphire
