Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the all-electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, marking the first fully electric AMG model developed from the ground up on the company’s dedicated AMG.EA platform.
The new high-performance EV is positioned to compete with premium electric performance models including the Tesla Model S Plaid, Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Lucid Air Sapphire.
Mercedes-AMG said the top-spec GT 63 version uses a three-motor configuration featuring two axial-flux electric motors mounted at the rear axle and one at the front axle.
The system produces up to 1,153 horsepower and 1,475 pound-feet of torque, enabling acceleration from zero to 60 miles per hour in a claimed 2.0 seconds.
According to the company, the vehicle can also accelerate to 200 kilometers per hour in 6.4 seconds.
The EV is powered by a 106-kWh battery pack developed using technology inspired by Formula One racing and paired with an 800-volt electrical architecture.
Mercedes-AMG said the charging system supports charging rates exceeding 600 kilowatts under ideal conditions.
The automaker said the vehicle can recover approximately 460 kilometers of driving range in around 10 minutes, while charging from 10% to 80% can take as little as 11 minutes.
Mercedes-Benz estimates the vehicle can deliver up to 696 kilometers of WLTP driving range depending on the configuration, though official EPA estimates for North America have not yet been released.
The company also introduced an “AMGFORCE Sport+” driving mode designed to replicate the sound and driving feel of a traditional AMG V8-powered vehicle.
Mercedes-AMG said the feature uses audio recordings from an actual AMG GT R engine combined with simulated gear shifts and seat-based haptic feedback to recreate aspects of combustion-engine driving dynamics.
The company plans to launch the GT 55 variant later in 2026, while the more powerful GT 63 is expected to arrive in early 2027.
Mercedes-Benz has not announced official pricing, although market estimates suggest pricing could begin around $150,000 and exceed $200,000 for higher-performance versions.
