Mercedes-AMG unveiled the all-electric AMG GT 4-door coupe on May 20 at the closed Sixth Street Viaduct in Los Angeles, introducing the first fully electric model in the AMG GT family and marking the end of AMG GT's V8 engine era [1].
The new coupe features three axial flux electric motors developed by Mercedes' subsidiary YASA. The Verge reported the powertrain delivers up to 1,153 horsepower and 1,475 lb-ft of torque, though some sources note a 1,169 hp output. The car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about 2 seconds [2, 3].
Powered by 106 kWh F1-derived battery cells, the AMG GT uses an advanced cooling system with non-conductive oil flowing directly around each cell. It supports ultra-fast charging at up to 600 kW, replenishing from 10% to 80% in 11 minutes. The WLTP estimated driving range reaches up to 700 km (about 435 miles) on a full charge [1, 2, 3].
Built on an 800-volt architecture that can switch to 400 volts, the car supports five global DC fast charging standards, including the NACS and CCS2 systems. The cabin features a more digital cockpit design and improved aerodynamics inspired by the Concept AMG GT XX. AMG introduced simulated V8 engine sounds in Sport+ mode to counter the lack of engine noise typical of electric vehicles [1, 2, 3].
The AMG GT 4-door coupe will appear as a 2027 model. It sets a new direction for AMG's lineup by combining high performance with electrification. The vehicle’s official debut event in Los Angeles on May 20 showcased its cutting-edge technology and design innovations [1].
