First All-Electric AMG Model
Mercedes-AMG has launched its first all-electric GT 4-Door Coupe. This model represents a shift for the performance brand, moving towards an exclusively battery-powered vehicle while aiming to maintain its performance standards.
Addressing EV Weight Challenges
Electric vehicles often face challenges with battery weight impacting handling. Mercedes-AMG addresses this through its AMG.EA sports-car architecture, which integrates various technologies to mitigate the performance effects of battery weight. The vehicle is designed to remain stable and responsive on both roads and tracks.
Advanced Powertrain and Chassis Technology
The new AMG GT EV utilizes three axial flux motors, produced by Yasa (acquired by Mercedes in 2021). These motors offer a lighter and more compact powertrain. The AMG GT 63 model delivers a peak output of 1,153 hp (860 kW) and a nominal output of 711 hp (530 kW) with 1,475 lb-ft (2,000 Nm) of torque. Boost mode provides additional horsepower for 63 seconds.
Beyond the powertrain, the vehicle incorporates Active Ride Control suspension, rear-axle steering (up to six degrees), and active aerodynamics. These systems continuously adjust power delivery and vehicle dynamics to provide expected AMG performance.
