Mercedes-AMG has pulled the wraps off an all-electric GT 4-Door Coupe built on the brand-new AMG.EA platform — its first purpose-built EV architecture. The flagship GT 63 variant delivers 1,153 hp / 860 kW from three axial-flux motors (motors with a disc-shaped design that are more compact and power-dense than conventional units), while the entry GT 55 produces 816 hp / 600 kW. US market timing has not been formally announced, though Mercedes has confirmed the US version will use the NACS (Tesla-developed connector now becoming the US standard) charging port.
Power and range
The GT 63's 106 kWh battery uses an 800-volt electrical system — charges faster than the more common 400-volt — and supports up to 600 kW peak DC charging. Mercedes says a 10–80% charge takes just 11 minutes, and 10 minutes of charging adds roughly 286 miles of WLTP range (the EU range-test standard; EPA figures have not been released). Full WLTP range is quoted at up to 432 miles for the GT 63 and up to 435 miles for the GT 55. Those numbers will almost certainly drop once EPA-tested — expect something closer to the low-to-mid 300s, based on typical WLTP-to-EPA conversion patterns.
The GT 63 sprints 0–60 mph in approximately 2.1 seconds with a 1-foot rollout, or 2.4 seconds without it. Top speed with the optional Driver's Package is 186 mph. Both trims weigh 5,423 lb — a notable figure in a class where weight management matters.

Charging, tech, and the fake-V8 question
One of the more polarizing features: the AMGFORCE S+ system, which simulates the sound of a gasoline-powered AMG GT R, adds haptic feedback through the steering wheel, and mimics virtual gear shifts. Seven drive modes include Comfort, Sport, Race, and AMGFORCE Sport+, alongside nine traction-control levels. Hardware highlights include active air suspension, rear-axle steering, and carbon-ceramic front brakes.
Inside, the cabin ditches the outgoing GT 4-Door's layout almost entirely. A 14-inch center touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a separate 14-inch front-passenger display dominate the dash. A panoramic roof with adjustable ambient color lighting rounds things out.

What US buyers don't know yet
Production starts at Mercedes' Sindelfingen, Germany plant in summer 2026. UK pricing comes in around £150,000 (roughly $190,000 at current exchange rates) for a September 2026 launch. Because the car will be assembled in Germany — not North America — it is unlikely to qualify for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit under IRA Section 30D, which requires final assembly in North America. No US pricing or on-sale date has been announced.
The GT 4-Door sits squarely against the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Audi e-tron GT RS — both of which have EPA-certified range figures and established dealer networks stateside. Mercedes hasn't said when it will close that gap, per Autocar and The EV Report.
