The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door marks a major shift for Mercedes-AMG as it moves away from traditional V8 engines and fully embraces electric performance.

‍

‍

This new flagship introduces the Mercedes High Performance Electric Architecture, using three compact axial-flux electric motors developed by Yasa. These motors are smaller, lighter, and more powerful than conventional designs, helping improve speed, handling, and efficiency.

‍

‍

The top performance version produces up to 1,153 horsepower and 1,475 lb-ft of torque, putting it in hypercar territory. With this power, the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.0 seconds.

‍

‍

A 106-kWh battery inspired by Formula 1 technology supports the system. It uses advanced cooling and an 800-volt setup that allows ultra-fast charging, going from 10% to 80% in about 11 minutes.

‍

‍

To control the extreme performance, the car includes adaptive air suspension, advanced stability systems, and rear-wheel steering that can turn up to six degrees to improve cornering and agility.

‍

Inside, the cabin is heavily digital, featuring multiple screens for both driver and passenger. A built-in performance system called AMG Race Engineer Core manages driving modes, allowing adjustments for acceleration, traction, and drifting control.

‍

‍

Production will begin at Mercedes’ Sindelfingen plant, with pricing expected to sit at the top end of the AMG lineup, matching previous flagship performance models.
