Mercedes-AMG is redefining high-performance EVs with its new tri-motor electric four-door coupe built on a dedicated 800V AMG platform. Delivering up to 1,153 horsepower, blistering 0–60 mph acceleration in just 2.1 seconds, and ultra-fast 600 kW charging, this EV blends next-generation battery tech with classic AMG driving emotion—including active aerodynamics, customizable chassis dynamics, and even a simulated V8 soundtrack. It’s not just an electric AMG—it’s AMG reengineered for the electrified era.

00:00:00 When you think Mercedes AMG, you think of a large engine and a powerful vehicle. Well, this is a powerful vehicle, but does not have a large engine. Because in fact, this is the AMG four-door coupe and it is electric. This new electric vehicle coming from Mercedes-Benz is on a 800vt architecture and it’s actually has its own platform. AMG has their own AMG platform in order
00:00:33 to build this vehicle and when it hits the market, it’s going to do 0 to 60 in about 2.1 seconds. How is this vehicle so quick? Well, it has two electric motors here in the rear and one in the front. It is a tri motor vehicle. And it’s not just quick on the road. It’s also quick when you go to charge. It’ll charge it up to 600 kW on an 800vt charging station. At a 400vt
00:01:00 charging station, it’ll charge it up to 350 kW. So, still really, really fast. In the AMG GT63, the three axle flux motors can output up to 1,153 horsepower at peak boost. Continuous horsepower for the trim level is 711. Torque for the vehicle is 1,475 lb feet. For the AMG GT50, the three motors will output 805 boost horsepower with 503
00:01:31 horsepower of continuous output. Now, that trim level’s torque is 1,328 lb feet. One of the cool things is that to keep this vehicle on the road as you’re flying down, say, the Autobond, it has active aerodynamics. This is actually a rear spoiler, it comes up and then it has a rear diffuser that comes out to about here. So if you’re flying down the
00:01:55 autobond at say 200 kilometers an hour, 230 kilometers an hour wherever you’re driving that quickly really Germany legally u you are going to be able to stay on the road thanks to the active uh aerodynamics on this vehicle. Let’s talk really quickly about the design of this vehicle especially the lights. You know Mercedes is doing a lot with the three stars here in the light.
00:02:20 I really like these lights. Uh the front is a little flat, but you you can also have these lights. The logo lights up and come around here in the back. You still get the threepointed star. And these really I really love the lights back here on the back of this vehicle. These right here, you get these three of them. You have this nice light bar. When you have a turn signal, it comes out of
00:02:45 here. The light signature here on the back of this vehicle is really nice. And I really do love the design of the vehicle. It looks very modern, very sleek. And one of the great things about Mercedes sort of, you know, continuing to bring EVs to the market is that they’re bringing EVs to the market that’s just look like cars. They’re not trying to make some sort of space
00:03:08 spaceship. They’re not trying to go crazy. You know, the EQS lineup, you know, the first uh vehicles are pretty bulbous. This is definitely not that. If this had a gas engine in it, it it would Yeah, it you you could see this with a gas engine, but it will have uh three electric motors. Inside the vehicle, you still get that AMG experience. You have the drive
00:03:32 select here on the steering wheel. You have a lot of carbon fiber. What’s really cool is that you have these three dials, so you can dial up and down three different aspects of the vehicle. You can do response, you can do agility, and you can do traction. So, you can actually dial down your traction, you know, if you want to drift. Uh, you can you adjust your agility. I really like
00:03:51 it’s it’s it’s more than just changing the sport mode or just saying something’s on or off. You have levels that you can change on this vehicle for its driving dynamics. Uh, again, it has the the the carbon fiber. It has your, you know, your typical AMG steering wheel. I do like the the new uh door handles. They are mechanical. They are not electronic. So you can get in and
00:04:14 out of the car in case the 12volt battery dies. They just they just fit right in your hand. It’s really nice. And it it allows uh Mercedes and AMG to have this nice clean uh top of the door where you just you know all you have here of course is your usual MercedesBenz um seat controls. Uh but there’s also something else. People like EVs, but
00:04:41 everyone wants that more visceral feeling that comes with having a vehicle. And EVs make, you know, funny little ice cream truck noises. Well, AMG decided, let’s try something different. That is the actual noise of a V8 engine on a different vehicle that that AMG has recreated for this vehicle. You put in sport plus, boom, it sounds like a V8. and doesn’t just sound inside the
00:05:09 vehicle. It doesn’t just sound like a V8. You can actually feel like the vibrations. Obviously, it’s, you know, you’re not getting that that uh that shake of the motor whenever you put your foot on the accelerator um from under the hood, but it does give you that little extra visceral feel. And there they have you can, you know, manually change gears. Uh they have uh we’ve seen
00:05:33 this onion Ionic 5N. They’re going to have this on here in as well. You go up, go down. Also, uh if you need to pass somebody, you can pull both of these and get a really nice boost in order to pass someone. So, it really is the AMG experience that you’re used to, but from an EV that happens to sound like a V8 for some important reason to a lot of people.
00:06:04 One of the really interesting aspects when we talked to uh the AMG team is that EVs can go really fast in a straight line. You can throw uh a motor in a a battery and essentially anything and go 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. What’s going to set this apart, they say, is essentially like the chassis control, the experience, that visceral experience. But I’m really excited to
00:06:25 try this vehicle out and see how well it does on a track, which is, you know, that is the AMG experience for a lot of people. And so, we’ll have more information about pricing, availability, uh, range from the EPA, uh, closer to the launch of this vehicle.
