Mercedes-AMG has launched final winter testing of its near-production electric GT 4-Door Coupé at its test centre in Arjeplog, Sweden, ahead of a planned global debut in the coming weeks.
The fully electric sports car introduces a new driving dynamics control system called AMG Race Engineer, designed to give drivers granular control over vehicle behaviour. The system features three rotary controls that independently adjust response, cornering balance, and traction slip.
Drivers can tailor electric motor response to accelerator inputs, vary handling characteristics from understeer to controlled oversteer, and configure traction control across nine stages. Full functionality is available when the electronic stability programme is switched off, the company said.
Power is delivered through AMG Performance 4MATIC+, a three-motor all-wheel drive system using axial flux motors, marking their first application in a fully electric sports car from the brand. The system continuously distributes torque between the front and rear axles, as well as independently between the rear wheels.
Braking performance is managed by a composite setup combining carbon-ceramic brakes on the front axle with steel brakes at the rear, balancing performance and durability.
The model is also equipped with AMG Active Ride Control air suspension, which includes triple-switchable air springs, semi-active roll stabilisation, and an 8.2-litre pressure accumulator that enables speed-dependent ride height adjustments.
To support performance consistency, the battery system uses direct cooling with an electrically non-conductive oil, designed to maintain optimal temperatures under varying driving conditions.
The winter testing programme in Arjeplog is part of final validation procedures before the model’s official unveiling, as Mercedes-AMG expands its portfolio of high-performance electric vehicles.
