Overview
- Mercedes‑AMG confirmed the new all‑electric GT 53 as an entry variant of its GT 4‑Door Coupé with sales set to begin on 13 August 2026.
- The manufacturer lists two electric motors with 270 kW continuous and up to 400 kW peak output, 800 Nm peak torque, a 106 kWh 800‑volt battery and a WLTP range cited up to about 809 km.
- Mercedes claims extreme fast‑charging capability of up to 600 kW that can raise the battery from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 11 minutes and add up to 534 km of range in about ten minutes of charging.
- To preserve AMG character the GT 53 offers a digitally reproduced inline‑six engine sound and simulated gear shifts operable via steering‑wheel paddles, plus a front‑motor decoupling system and a two‑speed gearbox on the rear axle for efficiency and performance.
- The GT 53 starts at about €115,400, a price point intended to broaden AMG’s reach while the company continues developing other electric AMG models and considers moving away from petrol powertrains in its compact range.
