MercedesAMG Weighs Electric Two‑Door GT, Says Market Must Justify Investment

Approval hinges on proving demand despite the technology already being in place.

Overview

  • CEO Michael Schiebe says an electric successor to the AMG GT is under evaluation and requires a solid business case before funding.
  • Any battery‑powered two‑door would be sold alongside the petrol AMG GT, which remains the near‑term focus for investment.
  • There is no launch timetable as AMG studies market signals and defines the target brief for the potential model.
  • AMG points to its AMG.EA architecture and recent concepts as proof it can deliver a high‑performance coupe if approved.
  • Leadership leaves open a low‑volume halo "brand‑shaper" approach even if profitability is limited.
