Overview
- On Thursday Mercedes‑AMG revealed the GT53 as a new entry‑level, dual‑motor GT 4‑Door Coupe that makes a combined 536 hp (400 kW) and 800 Nm of torque.
- Mercedes says the GT53 delivers between 682 km and 809 km WLTP range (up to 503 miles) making it the longest‑range model in the GT line, but those figures are manufacturer WLTP claims and lack EPA or independent real‑world verification.
- The GT53 keeps the GT family's 106 kWh battery, two‑speed rear gearbox and 800‑volt electrical architecture with a quoted 600 kW peak DC charge rate and a company claim of adding more than 534 km of range in 10 minutes.
- To gain range the GT53 drops one motor and several track‑focused systems found on the GT55/GT63, resulting in fewer driving modes and slower 0–60 times (3.4 seconds with rollout, 3.8 seconds from standstill) while retaining adaptive air suspension and AMG Performance 4Matic+.
- Mercedes has priced the GT53 from €115,430 in Germany, plans U.S. availability in early 2027, is still considering Australia, and uses simulated inline‑six engine sound and paddle‑shifted virtual gears to preserve AMG character as it electrifies.
