Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the all-electric AMG GT, the brand's flagship performance Gran Turismo built on the dedicated AMG.EA (AMG Electric Architecture) platform, marking a definitive departure from V8 powertrains. The range-topping GT 63 4MATIC+ features three axial-flux electric motors paired with a 106kWh battery and 800V architecture, delivering 1,169PS and 2,000Nm in launch control mode, enabling a 0-100km/h sprint of 2.1 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h. The model supports 600kW DC fast charging, replenishing 10%-80% in 11 minutes, with a WLTP range of 696km. The GT 55 variant offers 816PS and 700km range. To preserve AMG's sensory legacy, the AMG FORCE S+ simulated sound system replicates V8 acoustics and vibration feedback. Design cues include an illuminated Panamericana-style grille, three-pointed star headlamps, and classic GT proportions, positioning the model against the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.
