Mercedes-AMG has presented the production version of its first bespoke all-electric performance vehicle, the GT 4-Door Coupe.
The lineup will launch with two variants: the GT 63 and the GT 55. The vehicle incorporates technology derived from the Vision One-Eleven concept and is built on the company’s new AMG.EA platform.
Production and Market Availability
Production of the vehicle is scheduled to begin in mid-2026. According to the manufacturer, the AMG GT 55 will be available in late 2026, followed by the AMG GT 63 in early 2027. Mercedes-Benz Australia has confirmed local sales for the model, but pricing and specific timing for that market have not been announced.
The previous plug-in hybrid V8 model, the GT63 S E Performance, was priced from AUD $409,600 before on-road costs in 2025.
Technical Specifications
Powertrain and Performance- The vehicles use an 800-volt architecture and three axial-flux motors supplied by Mercedes subsidiary YASA (one motor on the front axle, two on the rear axle).
- The GT 63 produces 860 kW (1,153 horsepower) and 2,000 Nm (1,475 lb-ft) of torque.
- The GT 55 produces 600 kW and 1,800 Nm (1,328 lb-ft) of torque.
- The GT 63 achieves 0-100 km/h in 2.4 seconds (2.1 seconds with rollout) and a top speed of 300 km/h (with the Driver's Package).
- The GT 55 achieves 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds (2.5 seconds with rollout).
- Both models feature all-wheel drive.
- The battery is a 106 kWh lithium-ion unit using tall, ultra-slim cylindrical cells (1-inch diameter) with a nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum cathode and silicon-containing anode.
- The energy density is reported at over 298 Wh/kg. A non-conductive oil flows directly around each cell for cooling, providing 20 kW of cooling capacity.
- The system supports charging up to 600 kW and can switch between 800V and 400V. The manufacturer states a 10-80% charge can be completed in 11 minutes. The vehicle supports five global DC charging standards, including NACS and CCS2.
- Length: 5,094 mm; Width: 1,959 mm; Height: 1,411 mm; Wheelbase: 3,040 mm.
- Kerb weight: 2,460 kg (an increase of 115 kg over its predecessor).
- Drag coefficient: 0.22.
- WLTP range for the GT 63 is up to 696 km.
- WLTP range for the GT 55 is up to 700 km.
- To replace engine noise, the vehicle simulates sound using over 1,600 audio files derived from the AMG GT R. The system includes simulated V8 soundscapes and artificial gearshift sounds.
- The vehicle features seven drive modes and a temporary power boost activated via steering wheel paddles (providing an additional 110 kW for the GT 63 and 50 kW for the GT 55).
Interior and Technology
The cabin includes three displays under one continuous glass surface: a 10.2-inch driver display, a 14-inch central multimedia screen, and a 14-inch front passenger display. The vehicle is equipped with the AMG Race Engineer Core, a centralized computing system running on the MB.OS operating system. Available seating options include race seats or a three-seat bench in the rear. A panoramic sunroof is standard, and a Burmester audio system is optional.
