Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé launches record-breaking super-EV with 1,169 horsepower

Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé launched with the “AMG.EA” architecture, a next-generation Axial Flux electric motor, with 2,000 Nm of torque and the 600 kW charging speed.

Unveiling the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, a 100% pure electric sports coupé developed on the dedicated “AMG.EA (AMG Electric Architecture)” platform. Receiving technology directly from F1 racing, it arrives with supreme innovations in drivetrain, battery, and aerodynamics.

With orders set to open in the European market during the summer of 2026, this flagship electric vehicle crosses all previous boundaries in terms of both speed and the world's fastest charging system, preparing to become the blueprint for future models from Mercedes-AMG.

Key Highlights:

• 1,000+ Horsepower: Driven by 3 Axial Flux electric motors, delivering a maximum combined output of 1,169 horsepower and a staggering 2,000 Nm of torque.
• World's Fastest Charging: With a maximum DC charging capacity of 600 kW, it charges from 10% to 80% in just 11 minutes.
• Hyper-Level Acceleration: Blasts from 0-100 km/h in a mere 2.1 seconds.
• Intelligent Chassis: Features the anti-roll-bar-free AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL air suspension, integrated with a 6-degree rear-wheel steering system.
• Supercomputer Cabin: Driven by the MB.OS software and a 3-way interconnected AI suite (ChatGPT, Bing, Gemini).

Axial Flux Electric Motors and F1 Battery

Mercedes-AMG has collaborated with YASA from the UK to revolutionise drivetrain systems by introducing "Axial Flux" motors into a series-production vehicle for the first time in the world. It features a total of 3 motors (1 at the front serving as an automated on-demand booster, and 2 at the rear paired with a Single-Stage Planetary gearbox). This type of motor delivers massive, continuous power and significantly higher torque compared to conventional electric motors, allowing it to relentlessly unleash horsepower without any drop in performance.

On the battery front – a co-development between the Affalterbach team and F1 engine specialists (HPP) in the UK, it utilizes a 106 kWh battery pack made of cylindrical cells measuring 105 mm high with a 26 mm diameter. It incorporates NCMA chemistry and Full-tab technology to reduce internal resistance, alongside a special non-conductive oil flowing directly around all 2,660 battery cells. Temperature is managed via a Central Coolant Hub (CCH), keeping the battery pack at its optimal temperature at all times. As a result, it supports a peak DC charging power of up to 600 kW and delivers a maximum driving range of up to 700 kilometres under the WLTP standard.

Aerodynamics & Suspension

The suspension utilises a hydraulic system connecting all four shock absorbers together (replacing traditional anti-roll bars). It can independently open or close valves to provide maximum smoothness when driving straight, and precisely increase roll resistance during hard cornering, working in tandem with a 6-degree rear-wheel steering system that reduces the minimum turning radius to just 5.1 metres at low speeds while increasing lane-changing stability at high speeds.

To handle the thousand-horsepower performance level, the vehicle is equipped with the AEROKINETICS Venturi Flow high-speed variable air management system. The automatic underbody panels adjust dynamically (front deployments from 120 km/h and centre from 140 km/h) to generate a Venturi Effect that sucks and glues the vehicle to the road surface during cornering, working in synergy with the rear spoiler and diffuser.

Cabin for Driving Enthusiasts

Inside, the cabin is designed with a low, body-hugging seating position to deliver a true race car feeling. The dashboard is fitted with a Seamless-Glass screen that integrates a 10.2-inch instrument display and a 14.0-inch multimedia screen together, along with an optional 14.0-inch passenger display and a massive 29-inch Head-Up Display (HUD).

Additionally, there is an AMG RACE ENGINEER Control Unit on the centre console, designed like a polished metal air vent, used for adjusting throttle response, cornering attitude, and a 9-level traction control system. It is driven by the next-generation MB.OS and MBUX software featuring an AI avatar that interacts naturally, complemented by professional track functions from AMG TRACK PACE and a SKY CONTROL panoramic glass roof with adjustable opacity and a premium, long-stretching ambient lighting setup.

Pricing & Availability: Production and Marketing Schedule

Production of this masterpiece will commence in the summer of 2026 at the Sindelfingen plant in Germany, while the Axial Flux motors will be assembled separately at the Berlin-Marienfelde factory. The official retail pricing for the European market will be revealed next week, with order books opening immediately.

For Thailand – If Mercedes-Benz Thailand chooses to market this vehicle locally, it would likely be as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) import only, catering specifically to customers who demand the absolute pinnacle of the AMG family. The retail price is anticipated to sit within the luxury Super EV bracket, directly challenging high-end competitors.
