Overview
- Mercedes‑AMG announced a new all‑electric GT 4‑Door Coupé offering up to 860 kW (1,169 PS) and a claimed 0–100 km/h time of about 2.1 seconds, with two launch variants (GT 55 and GT 63).
- The GT uses a three‑motor layout with axial‑flow electric motors, a compact design aimed at higher power density and sustained output compared with conventional e‑motors.
- The car runs on a new 800‑volt battery with directly cooled round cells inspired by Formula 1, and AMG cites a 106‑kWh pack to keep power stable under repeated high loads.
- Mercedes‑AMG rates peak charging at up to 600 kW, saying the GT can add roughly 460 km of range in ten minutes and reach 10–80% state of charge in about eleven minutes under optimal conditions, and the system supports CCS2, CCS1, GB/T, CHAdeMO and NACS standards.
- Separately, AMG has relaunched a charged 3.0‑litre inline‑six for the GLC 53, rated at 330 kW/449 PS with 0–100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, fuel use of about 9.2–9.9 l/100 km and deliveries expected from summer as AMG balances electrification with refined combustion options.
