Affalterbach, Germany –
In an electrifying twist to the modern performance playbook, Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the CONCEPT AMG GT XX, a four-door spaceship disguised as a sports car, built not just to lap racetracks but to bend the laws of physics—and possibly time.
Packing a mind-melting 1,000+ kW (>1,360 hp) from three axial flux motors (yes, three), this all-electric powerhouse is less of a car and more of a rolling tribute to German overengineering. It recharges 400 km of range in just five minutes—faster than your coffee order at a Stuttgart petrol station.
“This isn’t just a car,” said Markus Schäfer, CTO of Mercedes-Benz, “it’s a PhD dissertation in performance.”
Performance That Doesn’t Need a Nap
While most EVs throw in the towel after a couple of hot laps, the GT XX just shrugs and asks, “Das war’s?” Its liquid-cooled battery and direct-oil-cooled motors are designed for sustained thrashing, whether you’re chasing apexes or embarrassing supercars at traffic lights.
With a top speed of 360+ km/h, the GT XX has officially outpaced your excuses for being late.
Motorsport DNA, but Make It Electric
Developed with help from F1 wizards at Brixworth and electric motor savants at YASA UK, the GT XX’s trio of axial flux motors are so dense with power, they make traditional motors feel like rotary dials on a Nokia.
Two motors at the rear, one up front, and each unit stuffed into High Performance Electric Drive Units (HP.EDUs) that sound like something NASA would put on Mars. The front motor can disengage itself when bored, improving efficiency and proving that even the hardware has learned to multitask.
Battery So Smart, It Might Judge You
Forget “range anxiety.” The GT XX’s HP.EB (High Performance Electric Battery) is built with direct-cooled cylindrical cells that stay frosty under pressure. The result? Massive, repeatable power and charging speeds that shame your microwave.
Each battery cell is wrapped in its own coolant bath like a pampered spa guest. It’s not just energy storage—it’s battery haute couture.
Design That Screams (Silently) “Future”
Painted in “Sunset Beam Orange” with shimmering liquid-metal-like finish, the GT XX looks like a Hot Wheels car after a double espresso. It’s wide, low, and rebellious—think Batmobile meets Blade Runner, with a touch of Nürburgring aggression.
The rear features six circular taillights, a MBUX Fluid Light Panel that can send emojis (yes, really), and an active rear airbrake ready to deploy if things get too exciting.
Oh, and it doesn’t have a rear windshield. Why? Because aerodynamics.
Interior: Darth Vader Meets Vegan Interior Designer
The cockpit is stripped down and serious—just two screens, carbon-fibre bucket seats, exposed metalwork, and orange accent cables that look like Tesla’s dream journal. No fluff, all focus.
Seats are made from recycled GT3 tyres and a biotech leather alternative that’s tougher than real hide and probably more ethical than your oat milk. Even the seat cushions are 3D-printed from your body scan. You don’t sit in the GT XX. You become one with it.
Wheels That Think (and Spin)
A patented world-first, the Aero Wheels feature moving blades that self-generate electricity while spinning and talk to the car via Bluetooth. When they’re closed, they reduce drag. When they’re open, they suck air through to cool the brakes and improve downforce.
Yes, the wheels are smarter than most high school students.
The Verdict:
The CONCEPT AMG GT XX isn’t just a car. It’s a proof of concept, a flex, a rolling declaration that Mercedes-AMG isn’t just entering the electric era—it’s setting the syllabus. With tech pulled from Formula 1, brains from around the globe, and the soul of a V8 fed into electrons, this four-door beast is everything AMG stands for—just turned up to eleven… hundred kilowatts.
Coming to a racetrack, wind tunnel, or alternate dimension near you in 2026.
