The new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé is a high-performance electric car built on the AMG.EA platform, with axial-flux motors, active aerodynamics and a clear focus on repeatable performance.
That last bit is key. Mercedes-AMG is not just chasing one big acceleration number.
The car uses a three-motor electric drive system with axial-flux motor technology and a high-performance battery, designed to deliver high peak output repeatedly and for longer periods.
The technical link is the Concept AMG GT XX, which Mercedes-AMG used at Nardò last year. The prototype covered more than 40,000km in seven days and 13 hours, setting 25 long-distance records in the process.
Two versions will be available when ordering starts in the coming days: the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupé and Mercedes-AMG GT 55 4-Door Coupé. Mercedes-AMG said pricing will be based on comparable predecessor models.
The car keeps the long-bonnet, wide-shouldered AMG look, but the harder engineering story sits underneath. Its active AEROKINETICS package includes a rear diffuser, underbody Venturi Flow elements and an extendable rear spoiler.
The underbody elements deploy from 120kph and 140kph, depending on position, to increase downforce. The spoiler starts working from 80kph and adjusts according to speed and driving load.
Cooling and range have also been worked into the aero package. The Airpanel system uses louvres behind the main front intake and brake-cooling intakes, opening only when extra cooling is needed.
Mercedes-AMG said 21-inch aero-optimised wheels can add up to 14km of WLTP range, while aero tyres can bring gains of up to 30km. The standard air suspension also lowers the car in two stages at speed.
Inside, the GT 4-Door Coupé mixes sports-car control with grand-tourer space. The cockpit gets a 10.2-inch instrument cluster and 14.0-inch central display, with an optional 14.0-inch passenger screen. Three haptic AMG Race Engineer rotary controllers handle response, traction and cornering settings.
The rear cabin has not been treated as an afterthought. Standard rear individual seats are fitted for two passengers, while an optional three-seat bench is available. Mercedes-AMG also uses floor recesses, described as “foot garages”, to improve rear legroom and knee angle.
MBUX runs on MB.OS and integrates AI from ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing and Google Gemini. AMG-specific apps include Performance Menu, Set Up and Track Pace, with Track Pace recording more than 80 vehicle data points ten times per second on track.
The Predictive Performance Manager is another serious track tool. First used during the Concept AMG GT XX record run, it manages energy flow in Endurance or Hotlap mode. Instead of giving full power everywhere, it saves energy where less is needed and releases more where it helps lap time, such as uphill sections of the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
There are seven AMG Dynamic Select modes: Comfort, Sport, AMGFORCE Sport+, Race, Slippery, Eco and Individual. AMGFORCE Sport+ is the drama mode, giving the EV a simulated AMG V8 character with sound, haptic gearshifts and matching display graphics.
A pull on both steering-wheel paddles can also unlock extra boost in Comfort, Sport and Sport+: up to 110 kW (150 PS) in the GT 63 and 50 kW (68 PS) in the GT 55.
Production starts in summer 2026 at Sindelfingen, Germany.
The axial-flux motors will be made at Mercedes-Benz’s Berlin-Marienfelde plant, where Mercedes-Benz said the production process includes 65 steps new to the company, 35 world-first processes and more than 30 patent applications.
