Summary
- Mercedes-AMG unveils 1,360 hp electric GT XX with axial flux motor
- Charge passes through direct cooling of the battery in five minutes for 400 km (250 miles)
- With fundamental design, active aircraft and biotech materials
Mercedes Arger The curtains of the concept AMG GT XX have been withdrawn, a four-door coupe, previewing the first series of production models on the brand’s new AMG.EA high-performance electric platform. Filled with 1,000 kW (1,360 hp) from three axial flux motors and newly developed high-voltage batteries, the GT XX delivers a top speed of over 223 mph and restores 400 km (250 miles) of fast charging in just five minutes. Designed through AMG’s Global Development Network and its ITS’s advice Equation 1 Brixworth engineers, the GT XX combines next-generation power with endurance, thanks to direct battery cooling, repeatable peak output and continuous high-speed performance.
Visually, the GT XX is as aggressive as the advanced. The low-curved quick-resist profile is highlighted by the sunset beam orange paint with glowing clips, recessed door handles and a fluid rear lighting panel capable of showing animation in real time. Inside, the cabin is displayed with visible structural components, custom biotech leather of recyclable GT3 tires, 3D printed ergonomic seat cushions and two widescreen displays that tilt towards the driver. Features meet Flair when in the console, orange “high voltage” trim and exposed AMG crests of zero rear windows – all part of its performance-first focus.
Each element of the GT XX is designed for speed, efficiency and future preparations – from custom-made battery architecture and high-pressure oil-based cooling using cylindrical NCMA batteries to active aviation wheels that are open for brake cooling and shut down to reduce drag. At the time of writing, Mercedes-Benz has not announced any production plans for the GT XX.
