Overview
- Mercedes‑AMG unveiled the production Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Türer Coupé at a high‑profile Los Angeles premiere on May 20, publishing full manufacturer specs and staging a celebrity launch.
- The car uses three axial‑flux motors (two rear, one front) in two trims: GT 55 at about 600 kW and GT 63 at about 860 kW, with claimed 0–100 km/h times near 2.1–2.4 seconds and a 300 km/h top speed with the Driver’s Package.
- Its 800‑volt battery holds roughly 106 kWh net in 2,660 cylindrical 26105 cells and uses direct, non‑conductive oil to cool each cell, a setup Mercedes says enables up to 600 kW DC charging and 10–11 minute 10–80% sessions.
- AMG emphasizes sustained output—citing roughly 530 kW continuous duty and endurance runs with the GT Concept XX at Nardò—but independent testing and the limited number of public chargers capable of 600 kW are needed to confirm real‑world results.
- Production will start in Sindelfingen in summer 2026 with first deliveries by the end of 2026, the car includes simulated V8 sound and haptic feedback to preserve AMG emotion, and Mercedes plans dealer training and wide test drives to sell the electric shift.
