2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe EV spied again

Mercedes-Benz AMG, long known for its tire-shredding V-8 and V-12 engines, is well on its means toward using a varied electrical profile.

The Affalterbach receiver currently supplies its own versions of Mercedes’ EQE sedan, EQE SUV, and EQS hatchback, and is currently working with its initial dedicated EV, a prototype for which has been detected once more.

The specialized EV will be based on AMG’s very own modular EV system, known as AMG.EA, and is anticipated to debut in late 2025. The timing suggests it will get to the U.S. as a 2026 version.

As our spy shots show, the EV will certainly be an incredibly smooth hatchback with four doors, making it a potential electrical choice to the current GT 4-Door Coupe, a lorry whose name it may carry right into production. The two variations are likely to be marketed along with one another for a duration, as the existing GT 4-Door Coupe was only updated in 2014.

Rather the automaker plans to proceed offering gas-powered automobiles well right into the next decade, and

potentially longer. This implies the GT 4-Door Coupe with a gas engine may remain for longer than previously planned. AMG teased a possible style for its first dedicated EV with the expose of 2022’s Vision AMG concept. The principle was developed to display the opportunities of the AMG.EA platform and was validated by AMG to include axial-flux electric motors developed by Yasa, a company wholly had by Mercedes that specializes in high-performance electrical motors.

Axial-flux electric motors are both lighter and smaller than traditional radial-flux electric motors of comparable result. However, making axial-flux electric motors is harder, making them a whole lot much less cost-efficient. One production-bound unit evaluates just 53 extra pounds but generates as much as 480 hp, Yasa principal Tim Woolmer previously told Autocar. 2 of those electric motors would certainly provide the AMG close to 1,000 hp.

AMG is expected to use energetic aerodynamic functions and even a printed logo design similar to what’s made use of on AMG’s Formula 1 autos, along with the One hypercar. An energetic rear spoiler can clearly be seen in some of the spy shots. AMG has a lot of experience with electric power.

It first examined the waters in 2014 with the SLS AMG Electric Drive. It was the fastest, most effective EV on the market at the time many thanks to its 740-hp output. Ever since, AMG has gathered even more experience from its F1 program, especially in the locations of power discharging and healing. Prior to the arrival of its initial devoted EV, AMG is anticipated to present a tuned variation of a future electrical CLA-Class, a model for which is additionally out testing. Out screening is a tuned variation of a future electrical GLC-Class.
