Mercedes-AMG has introduced its all-electric GT 4-Door Coupe, showcasing a blend of advanced technology and performance capabilities. This model signifies a departure from the V8 engines that have characterized the brand, incorporating innovations from the record-setting Concept AMG GT XX.
Design and Dimensions
The GT 4-Door features a design that diverges from previous Mercedes electric vehicles, adopting a more aerodynamic profile. It measures 1.7 inches shorter in height and 1.4 inches longer overall than its predecessor, with a wheelbase extended by 3.5 inches. The exterior design includes a prominent front grille and streamlined headlights, enhancing its sporty aesthetic.
Powertrain and Performance
This model will be available in two variants: the GT 55 and GT 63. Both utilize YASA’s axial flux motors, with the GT 55 producing 805 hp (592 kW) and 1,328 lb-ft (1,800 Nm) of torque, while the GT 63 ramps up to 1,153 hp (848 kW) and 1,475 lb-ft (2,000 Nm). The innovative motors are significantly lighter and more compact than traditional radial-flux motors, allowing for a more efficient powertrain layout.
Battery Technology and Charging
The GT 4-Door is equipped with a 106 kWh battery pack, providing a range of up to 478 miles (770 km) for the GT 55 and 474 miles (764 km) for the GT 63. The battery features 2,660 cylindrical cells, optimized for cooling and efficiency. With an 800 V architecture, the vehicle supports ultra-fast charging capabilities, allowing for a 10-80% charge in as little as 11 minutes under optimal conditions.
Driving Experience and Features
Mercedes-AMG has integrated advanced suspension systems to enhance driving dynamics, including an Active Ride Control system for the GT 63. The vehicle promises impressive acceleration, with a claimed 0-60 mph time of just 2.0 seconds. Additionally, the GT 4-Door includes features like simulated engine sounds and haptic feedback to enhance the driving experience, though these can be disabled if desired.
While Mercedes has not confirmed plans for a gasoline or hybrid variant of the GT 4-Door, the company is developing new inline-six and V8 engines. The pricing for the GT 4-Door is expected to be competitive within the high-performance electric vehicle market, likely placing it in the six-figure range.
