The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is positioned as a highly advanced electric vehicle from a Western automaker. It uses a new EV motor designed to reduce weight and improve performance. Power comes from a bespoke battery pack infused with lessons from the automaker’s Formula 1 program. Peak charging power reaches 600 kilowatts, the highest seen in an electric car from a non-Chinese company. Mercedes previously struggled with early EV efforts built around less appealing EQ models, then improved results with more conventional designs, faster charging, more range, and better software. The AMG GT is the first vehicle on the AMG.EA performance EV platform and targets high-performance rivals like the Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air Sapphire.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe may be the most technologically advanced electric vehicle any Western automaker has put into production yet. It uses a new kind of EV motor to reduce weight and improve performance. It's powered by a bespoke battery pack infused with lessons from the automaker's Formula 1 program. And it flaunts a peak charging power of 600 kilowatts, the most we've seen in an electric car from a non-Chinese company."
"The German automaker struggled with its early EV efforts, which hinged on jellybean-shaped EQ models that had limited appeal and poor sales. The brand then spent the last two years course-correcting, with solid results. The new GLC EV and CLA sport more conventional designs, along with faster charging, more range, and improved software."
"It's the first vehicle on the company's new AMG.EA performance EV platform, and it aims to put Mercedes at the forefront of EV technology, at least outside of China. It will take on rival high-performance sedans like the Porsche Taycan and the Lucid Air Sapphire."
"Gone are the sleek headlamps and smooth bodywork of last year's AMG GT XX Concept, and in comes one of the most excessive exterior designs of recent times. The AMG GT gets gaudy daytime running lights with Mercedes star graphics, all located in unusually large headlamp housings. There's also a huge grille with vertical illuminated slats and an lit-up logo. The rear looks equally over the top, with circular taillights and more star graphics set into an oversized and glossy black panel."
