The era of ultra-high performance Mercedes EVs is here. The German automaker finally revealed its new super sedan, the AMG GT 4-door coupe, with technology borrowed from the automaker\u2019s XX concept that last year made history by driving 24,901 miles in under 8 days at Nard\u00f2 Ring in southern Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With the production model, Mercedes rethought its approach to motors and batteries in the hopes of delivering a high performance vehicle that could go toe-to-toe with even some hypercars. The new AMG GT utilizes three axial flux motors developed by Mercedes subsidiary YASA<\/a>, delivering up to 1,153 horsepower and 1,475 lb-ft of torque. Mercedes claims to be the first to use these types of motors, which thanks to their thin disc shape weigh just a fraction of a traditional radial motor while still delivering massive horsepower.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The high-performance battery, meanwhile, utilizes tall, ultra-slim cylindrical cells that are only 1 inch in diameter, allowing heat to escape from the core to the outside surface almost immediately. In addition, Mercedes developed a special, high-tech oil that is non-conductive so as not to cause an electrical short. The oil flows directly around every single individual cell for direct cooling. Inspired by Formula 1, this system provides 20 kW of cooling power, or about four times more cooling capacity than a standard EQS battery<\/a>. You can drag race it over and over again, and it theoretically won\u2019t overheat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The AMG GT 4-door coupe is built on an 800-volt architecture capable of handling ultra-fast charging up to 600 kW. That plus the innovative cooling system enables charging from 10-80 percent in just 11 minutes, Mercedes says. The nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum cathode, combined with an anode containing silicon, can achieve an energy density of over 298 Wh-per-kilogram. The EV can also switch from 800V to 400V when required and supports five global DC charging standards (including NACS and CCS2).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Of course, this all translates into an absolute demon-level track car. But of course, like most automakers, Mercedes is anxious about how race enthusiasts will take to a completely silent electric motor. That\u2019s why the AMG GT 4-door coupe will also feature over 1,600 sound files derived from the AMG GT R to simulate engine notes, exhaust burbles, and traction interruptions during virtual gear changes. It also has distinct sounds for unlocking, entering, and charging the vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But it isn\u2019t just a fast car that makes fake sounds. The AMG GT 4-door coupe also has a lot of computing power. Mercedes centralized the brain of the vehicle into the AMG Race Engineer Core, running on the automaker\u2019s brand new MB.OS operating system. Instead of a dozen small chips arguing with each other, one ultra-advanced master chip sits in the center of the car and simultaneously controls everything from driving, charging, suspension, and battery cooling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Inside you\u2019ll find not one, not two, but three screens, all housed under one continuous glass surface. That includes the 10.2-inch driver display, a 14-inch angled central multimedia screen, and a 14-inch passenger display running MB.OS. Owners can track all their metrics, including aero, heat, and energy usage in real time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mercedes didn\u2019t release the official pricing yet, but said that GT 55 version would be available in late 2026, followed by the GT 63 in early 2027.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
