Mercedes-AMG électrique

Mercedes-AMG teases its first ultra-sporty electric model, a direct competitor to Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.

Mercedes-AMG reveals an ambitious project with the release of a teaser for its upcoming flagship model, an innovative electric coupe sedan, likely a four-door model. Designed to compete with the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT, this electric sports car will be officially unveiled in June and promises to mark a turning point in the brand’s electric transition.

Eye-catching design

The teaser showcases a vehicle with striking lines, featuring an elongated nose, prominent light signatures at the front, and a sloped windshield that flows into a dynamic roofline extending to the rear. Muscular fenders and a large glass surface give this sporty sedan an appearance that is both elegant and functional. Inspired by the Vision AMG concept, it combines classic proportions of a sports car with modern elements to meet the expectations of luxury and performance enthusiasts.

Under the hood, this Mercedes-AMG electric is built on the AMG.EA architecture, a platform exclusively dedicated to AMG electric vehicles. Equipped with axial-flux motors produced by Yasa, a Mercedes subsidiary, it promises unparalleled power and torque density. Each motor can produce 480 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, and the high-end configuration could reach a combined power of 1,000 horsepower, or even up to 2,000 horsepower with a four-motor setup.

These capabilities will allow Mercedes-AMG to compete with the fastest models in the segment, while introducing unprecedented technological innovations. It will also feature a high-performance battery offering competitive range and optimized charging times.

Mercedes plans to phase out the EQ badge to integrate electric models into its existing ranges, as illustrated by this launch. A same-architecture electric SUV will follow, designed to meet the needs of a more versatile customer base.
