Mercedes-AMG has built plenty of fast cars, but its new electric GT sounds a bit too wild on paper. The newly unveiled AMG GT 4-Door EV can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in about 2 seconds, putting it among the quickest production EVs on the planet.

That acceleration is only part of the pitch. Mercedes has also given the AMG GT 4-Door EV 600kW fast charging, which can get it from 10 to 80 percent state of charge in as little as 11 minutes.

Mercedes-AMG GT EV

Mercedes-AMG GT EV lineup has two models, the GT 55 and the GT 63. The top-of-the-line GT 63 model has a 2-second 0 to 60 mph sprint, despite being a four-door coupe. It is also capable of accelerating from standing still to 124 mph in 6.4 seconds. Top speed can reach up to 186 mph (300 km/h) with the optional Driver’s Package.

Mercedes is using a three-motor layout here, with one axial-flux motor driving the front axle and two working at the rear. The setup produces up to 860kW, or about 1,153 horsepower, plus 1,475 lb-ft of torque, which is why the acceleration figures are so extreme.

The EV also has a party trick that makes it sound and feel more like a traditional AMG. In AMGFORCE S+ mode, it simulates an AMG V8 soundtrack, gear-shift-style traction interruptions, and cabin vibrations.

Can it really charge that quickly?

The charging numbers are also mind-boggling. Mercedes says the AMG GT 4-Door EV supports 600kW fast charging, which can add approximately 460 kilometers (about 286 miles) of range in as little as 10 minutes. A 10 to 80 percent charge can take as little as 11 minutes, assuming the right charger is available.

Mercedes-AMG is estimating a WLTP range of around 370 to 430 miles, depending on the version and specification.

The AMG GT EV also gets active aerodynamics, rear-axle steering, carbon-ceramic brakes, and AMG-specific drive settings. Inside, Mercedes has added a wide digital cockpit layout with multiple displays and performance-focused readouts.

There is also nearly 15 cubic feet (415 litres) of boot space, along with a small 1.4 cubic feet (41 litres) frunk.Pricing has not been announced yet. The 805-horsepower GT 55 is expected to arrive first in the fall this year, followed by the faster GT 63 in early 2027.

Mercedes-AMG is preparing its own electric “answer” to the challenges of the new era, and the new Mercedes-AMG GT EV shows that the Germans do not intend to surrender the weapons of driving pleasure so easily.

I prepared a dynamic post for social media that highlights the unreal features of this electric hyper-sedan!
Headline: 2-second electric storm from Mercedes-AMG!

Mercedes-AMG is going all-electric with the upcoming GT EV, a car that promises to combine the unreal performance of the future with the “feeling” of the past.

The numbers that inspire awe:
0-100 km/h (0-60 mph): In just 2 seconds!
Charging Speed: At the unimaginable number of 600kW! Forget about waiting, the battery will fill up in almost the time it takes to fill up with gasoline.

Electric… with a V8 soul and gear changes?
The biggest complaint of petrolheads about electric cars is the lack of sound and mechanical feel. AMG solves this in a very special way:

The GT EV will feature a sophisticated system that simulates the iconic sound of a V8 engine, adapted to the driving conditions.

Even more impressive? It will “wear” a system that will artificially reproduce the feeling of gear shifts, giving the driver the kick and engagement that he is used to from sports gearboxes.

After the recent record of the Xiaomi YU7 GT at the Nürburgring, Mercedes-AMG shows that traditional manufacturers are here and have their own “weapons” to hold the scepter of performance.
