The 1,169 hp Mercedes-AMG GT Electric SUV Blows the Meters Off

Three motors, a giant battery, and supercar-like acceleration: the Mercedes-AMG GT SUV takes electric excess to great lengths. Even its entry-level version boasts 544 hp.
The electric car was supposed to teach us sobriety. At Mercedes-AMG, they’ve clearly missed that lesson. With its new GT SUV, developed entirely in Affalterbach, the German sports division transforms the family vehicle into a showcase of technological prowess. The trunk will hold the races. The rest is mainly to alarm the numbers.
At the top, the 63 version mobilizes three axial flow motors to deliver up to 1,169 hp. Mercedes claims a 0 to 100 km/h time of 2.5 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 6.8 seconds, and a top speed of 270 km/h with the appropriate package. For an SUV, this is a particularly expansive conception of family transport.
Power and Technology
The battery contributes to this arms race: up to 128 kWh usable, with an 800-volt architecture and cells directly cooled by oil. The announced range exceeds 700 kilometers. As for charging, it could peak at 710 kW, allowing recovery of up to 450 kilometers WLTP in ten minutes. These preliminary values obviously assume a charging station capable of keeping up with this electric hunger.
To tame the whole setup, AMG deploys active suspension controlling pitch and roll, rear-wheel steering, and movable aerodynamics. And since silence might spoil the party, the AMGFORCE Sport+ program adds sounds of a V8 or six-cylinder engine, simulated gear changes, and vibrations in the seats. Even sensations become an equipment.
The excess starts with the 53 version: 544 hp and €112,350, with orders opening on October 20. The 55 and 63 will follow in the spring of 2027. An impressive rolling laboratory, this GT SUV ultimately poses a simple question: how far do you need to go to do enough?
