Overview

  • The GT XX Concept packs three decoupled axial-flux motors into a Performance 4MATIC+ system that delivers over 1,000 kW (around 1,360 PS) and targets a top speed beyond 360 km/h.
  • An 800-volt battery of cylindrical NCMA cells sits as a structural element and uses dielectric fluid for direct cell cooling to maintain performance under stress.
  • Prototype chargers built with Alpitronic technology enable sustained charging rates above 850 kW to replenish roughly 400 km of WLTP range in about five minutes.
  • Aerodynamic innovations include a record drag coefficient of 0.198, active AeroBlades on 21-inch wheels for brake cooling, and a camera-based rear-view replacement.
  • Riding on the new AMG.EA architecture as a four-door electric coupe study, its electric motors and battery system are set to enter series production in 2026 ahead of first production models.
