Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Goes Electric With Up To 860kW And 600kW Charging

Mercedes-AMG has revealed the new-generation GT 4-Door Coupé as a battery-electric performance sedan, with two variants due to open for ordering soon.

The model moves to the AMG.EA electric architecture and uses three axial-flux electric motors, with two motors on the rear axle and one at the front.

Mercedes-AMG has confirmed GT 55 and GT 63 versions at launch, with peak outputs ranging from 600kW to 860kW.

Australian launch timing, pricing and local specifications have not been announced.

Mercedes-AMG says pricing in overseas markets will be based on comparable predecessor vehicles, but it has not released market-specific figures.

The GT 63 4-Door Coupé 4MATIC+ is the higher-output version, with Mercedes-AMG quoting up to 860kW and 2000Nm.

The brand lists a 0-100km/h time of 2.4 seconds without rollout, or 2.1 seconds using a 1-foot-rollout measurement.

The GT 55 4-Door Coupé 4MATIC+ produces 600kW and 1800Nm, with a listed 0-100km/h time of 2.8 seconds, or 2.5 seconds with 1-foot rollout.

Both variants use a 106kWh net battery, an 800-volt electrical system and fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.

Mercedes-AMG quotes a top speed of 300km/h for both variants when fitted with the Driver’s Package.

The company says the axial-flux motors are supplied through YASA technology, after Mercedes-Benz acquired the British electric-motor specialist in 2021.

The front motor can be decoupled during low-load driving to reduce drag losses, while the rear drive unit combines two axial-flux motors with a single-stage planetary gearbox.

The battery uses 2660 cylindrical cells arranged across 18 modules.

Mercedes-AMG says each cell is directly cooled by a non-conductive oil-based coolant, a design intended to support repeated high-load driving and rapid charging.

On compatible charging infrastructure, the company claims the GT 4-Door Coupé can add more than 460km of WLTP range in 10 minutes.

It also claims the battery can add 70kWh in 10 minutes, or 41kWh in five minutes.

Those figures rely on access to a charger capable of delivering the required current and power.

Mercedes-AMG notes that many existing fast-charging stations operate below the car’s peak capability.

The car can also charge on 400-volt infrastructure, with global compatibility planned across CCS2, GB/T, CHAdeMO, CCS1 and NACS standards depending on market.

The new GT 4-Door Coupé also introduces an AMGFORCE Sport+ drive program designed to replicate elements of a V8 driving experience.

Mercedes-AMG says the mode combines synthesised V8-style sound, simulated gear changes and haptic feedback.

The system uses sound derived from the AMG GT R as part of a real-time sound-mixing setup, according to the manufacturer.

The model also includes seven AMG Dynamic Select modes: Comfort, Sport, AMGFORCE Sport+, Race, Slippery, Individual and Eco.

A boost function can be activated by pulling both steering-wheel paddles in Comfort, Sport and Sport+ modes.

Mercedes-AMG lists up to 110kW of additional boost for the GT 63 and up to 50kW for the GT 55.

Chassis hardware includes AMG Active Ride Control air suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation, active rear-axle steering and a multi-link suspension layout at both ends.

The rear wheels can steer up to six degrees in either direction.

Below 80km/h, the rear wheels steer opposite to the front wheels to improve manoeuvrability.

Above 80km/h, they steer in the same direction to support stability.

Braking hardware combines carbon-ceramic brakes at the front with steel brakes at the rear, supported by regenerative braking.

The exterior uses active aerodynamic elements, including underbody venturi plates, an active rear diffuser, an extendable rear spoiler and adjustable front air panels.

Mercedes-AMG says the underbody elements deploy from 120km/h at the front and 140km/h at the centre section.

The listed drag coefficient is 0.22.

Wheel sizes range from 19 to 21 inches, with Mercedes-AMG claiming certain aerodynamic wheel and tyre combinations can improve WLTP range.

Inside, the GT 4-Door Coupé features a 10.2-inch instrument display, a 14.0-inch central multimedia screen and an available 14.0-inch passenger display.

The cabin also includes three physical AMG Race Engineer rotary controls for response, traction and cornering behaviour.

Series production is due to begin at Mercedes-Benz’s Sindelfingen plant in the European summer of 2026.

The axial-flux motors will be produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Berlin-Marienfelde.

Mercedes-AMG has not yet detailed whether the GT 55 and GT 63 will both be offered in Australia, or when local orders could open.
