Mercedes AMG – Mercedes has finally lifted the cover on its AMG GT 4-door coupe, a high-performance electric super sedan built around three YASA-developed axial flux motors, an 800-volt charging architecture up to 600 kW, and a battery cooling system designed to prevent over
The moment you expect from a supercar—2 seconds to get from 0 to 60 mph—arrives with something that’s supposed to be completely silent. Mercedes has unveiled the AMG GT 4-door coupe, a performance EV that the company positions as the next step in its ultra-high-performance electric future.
Mercedes says the new vehicle can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2 seconds. To make that kind of pace feel like a familiar AMG experience, it leans on race-inspired hardware and software, even down to how the car sounds when it’s doing its job.
Under the body, the AMG GT 4-door coupe uses three axial flux motors developed by Mercedes subsidiary YASA. Mercedes claims it is the first automaker to use this kind of motor in production. The company says these thin disc-shaped units weigh just a fraction of a traditional radial motor while still delivering up to 1. 153 horsepower and 1. 475 lb-ft of torque.
The battery is built for the same kind of repeated stress a track car faces. Mercedes describes tall. ultra-slim cylindrical cells that are 1 inch in diameter. designed to let heat escape from the core to the outside surface almost immediately. Cooling is taken a step further with a non-conductive, high-tech oil that flows directly around every individual cell. Inspired by Formula 1. Mercedes says this oil-based system provides 20 kW of cooling power—about four times more cooling capacity than a standard EQS battery—so the car can be “drag raced … over and over again” without overheating.
That battery is paired with an 800-volt architecture that can handle ultra-fast charging up to 600 kW. Mercedes says charging from 10% to 80% takes 11 minutes. The chemistry includes a nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum cathode and an anode containing silicon. with Mercedes claiming an energy density of over 298 Wh per kilogram. The system can also switch between 800V and 400V when required. and it supports five global DC charging standards. including NACS and CCS2.
Performance fans worried about the “silent motor” part are getting an answer that’s almost as engineered as the rest of the car. Mercedes says the AMG GT 4-door coupe will feature over 1,600 sound files derived from the AMG GT R. The audio is designed to simulate engine notes. exhaust burbles. and traction interruptions during virtual gear changes. with distinct sounds for unlocking. entering. and charging the vehicle.
The computing side is built around Mercedes’ idea of fewer, bigger brains. Mercedes centralized the vehicle’s control hardware into the AMG Race Engineer Core. running on the company’s new MB.OS operating system. Instead of what Mercedes describes as a dozen small chips working against each other. it uses one ultra-advanced master chip in the center of the car. That master chip simultaneously controls driving, charging, suspension, and battery cooling.
Inside, there are three screens under one continuous glass surface: a 10.2-inch driver display, a 14-inch angled central multimedia screen, and a 14-inch passenger display running MB.OS. Mercedes says owners can track metrics including aero, heat, and energy usage in real time.
Mercedes hasn’t released official pricing yet. It did say the GT 55 version will arrive in late 2026, followed by the GT 63 in early 2027.
