SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 14, 2025 – Mercedes-AMG is redefining the future of high-performance sports cars with the stunning debut of the CONCEPT AMG GT XX — a visionary electric powerhouse that blends groundbreaking technology with emotional design and everyday practicality. This four-door coupe marks a bold step toward the series-production models expected to launch in 2026, setting new benchmarks in electric mobility.
Pioneering Electric Power with a Revolutionary Drive Concept
At the heart of the CONCEPT AMG GT XX is a revolutionary drivetrain that delivers over 1,341 horsepower, thanks to three axial flux motors — a compact and powerful innovation developed in partnership with British electric motor specialist YASA. “The best minds in our global R&D network have contributed their extensive expertise… The technology program pushes the boundaries even further and ventures into new ground,” emphasized Markus Schäfer, Chief Technology Officer of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
With a peak speed exceeding 223 mph, this concept introduces a new dimension of performance, endurance, and charging capability. The vehicle can recharge approximately 400 kilometers of range in just five minutes — a feat made possible by a high-voltage battery featuring direct-cooled cylindrical cells, ensuring sustained performance even under extreme driving conditions.
High-Tech Innovation Meets Iconic AMG Design
“The CONCEPT AMG GT XX is the next milestone in the history of AMG and forges a whole new dimension of performance,” stated Michael Schiebe, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. Staying true to AMG’s DNA, the vehicle combines the heart of a sports car with the latest electric architecture, delivering unparalleled power density and endurance.
Design-wise, the car showcases a rebellious, aerodynamic silhouette with signature AMG elements like the vertical-strut grille, aggressive front splitter, and aerodynamic rear diffuser. Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, highlighted, “We have succeeded in translating our design vision for AMG into the future… The brand-new CONCEPT AMG GT XX embodies the hot part of our design philosophy of sensual purity.”
Intelligent Engineering for Maximum Efficiency
The intelligent integration of cutting-edge technology extends beyond performance. With the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system, the car ensures fully variable torque distribution for optimal traction and efficiency. The use of lightweight materials, including a mix of aluminum, steel, and fiber composites, enhances rigidity while keeping weight low — critical for both performance and safety.
Moreover, Mercedes-AMG's partnership with Alpitronic resulted in a prototype charging station capable of delivering over 850 kW of charging power, setting a new industry standard for fast charging.
A Glimpse Into the Future of Sustainable Luxury
Inside, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX offers a stripped-down, motorsport-inspired cockpit crafted with innovative materials like LABFIBER — a biotechnological leather alternative derived from recycled GT3 racing tires. The unique combination of performance, sustainability, and advanced ergonomics, including customizable 3D-printed seat pads, underscores AMG's commitment to redefining luxury.
Innovations such as the MBUX Fluid Light Panel at the rear, active Aero Wheels, and even luminescent exterior paint further showcase Mercedes-AMG’s bold vision of the future — a future where high performance, sustainability, and design excellence coexist.
Available Soon: The Future of Driving Is Almost Here
While the CONCEPT AMG GT XX remains a technology showcase for now, Mercedes-AMG plans to introduce the first production models based on this concept starting in 2026. With its unparalleled blend of speed, efficiency, and emotional appeal, this concept not only breaks records but also expectations.
