Mercedes-AMG has shown a prototype of its new electric four-door AMG GT with a striking, high-performance design. This top-end version could deliver a massive 1,360 horsepower, aiming to rival the fastest electric sedans on the market, including the Ferrari Luce.
Prototype Revealed at Nürburgring
During testing at the Nürburgring, Mercedes revealed a heavily camouflaged version of the AMG GT electric sedan. The car retains the aggressive body style but now features distinctive air vents on the hood, hinting at enhanced cooling and aerodynamic features for this high-output model.

Powertrain and Performance
According to reports, this upcoming AMG GT electric will have three electric motors—two at the rear and one at the front—offering all-wheel drive with Mercedes’ 4MATIC system. The combined output is expected to reach around 1,360 horsepower, surpassing previous Mercedes-AMG electric models.
