The flagship that once defined AMG with a 730-horsepower V8 is trading cylinders for kilowatts. Mercedes-AMG has launched the official teaser campaign for its next GT 4-Door Coupe, confirming the four-seat coupe will become the brand’s first purely electric model developed entirely in Affalterbach.
Set to arrive in 2026 as a 2027 model, the car is the production version of the 2022 Vision AMG concept and marks the end of an era. That means no more hand-built combustion engines in AMG’s range-topping four-door.
Built on the new AMG.EA platform, it uses three Yasa axial-flux motors, one in the front and two in the rear. Combined, that delivers an output north of 1,341 horsepower in prototype testing. These pancake-thin motors weigh roughly half as much as conventional radial-flux units yet deliver higher continuous torque, allowing the rear axle alone to produce well over 800 hp without overheating.
The flat battery pack is structurally bonded into the floor as a stressed member, dropping the center of gravity below that of the current GT and targeting near-50:50 weight distribution despite the heavy cells. An 800-volt architecture and silicon-carbide inverters enable charging peaks of up to 850 kW, adding roughly 249 miles of range in five minutes with the right infrastructure.
What separates this car from other seven-figure EVs is sustained performance. At Nardò, a development mule ran for eight consecutive days at an average 186 MPH, including a 24-hour, 3,405-mile record run, proving the battery and thermal management can handle repeated maximum-effort laps without derating.
To keep the driving experience unmistakably AMG, the car will feature an active sound system that replicates the V8 growl and overrun bark that was demonstrated in the teaser by Formula 1 driver George Russell. Simulated gearshifts briefly interrupt torque to mimic the snap of a dual-clutch box, adding even more to the acoustic symphony orchestrated by AMG engineers.
Exterior details now visible include razor-thin horizontal daytime-running-light blades, flush pop-out handles, and a full-width taillight bar. A larger electric SUV on the same platform is already locked in for 2027–2028.
Pricing remains under wraps, but expect a noticeable step above the outgoing GT 63 S E Performance’s $200,000-plus sticker, placing it squarely against the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Lucid Air Sapphire.
For a brand whose identity was forged by the sound and fury of internal combustion, the electric GT 4-Door Coupe is the boldest statement yet that Affalterbach believes it can deliver even more extreme performance, without a single piston. The countdown has started.
