Mercedes‑AMG GT XX Concept: The e-Hypercar Ready to Challenge the Taycan!
When electric performance meets AMG’s motorsport pedigree, you get the Mercedes‑AMG GT XX Concept: an electric Hypercar 4-door GT designed to take on the Porsche Taycan and beyond. With blistering specs and striking design, it's more than a concept, it's a vision of AMG’s future.
Eye-Watering Performance
- Tri‑motor powerhouse: Two axial‑flux motors at the rear and one at the front produce 1,340 hp combined, with all‑wheel drive and a top speed of 220 mph (360 km/h).
- Lightweight tech: The axial‑flux motors, developed for Formula 1, are about 67% lighter and smaller than typical radial flux motors, yet deliver triple the power density.
Based on the flagship EV AMG.EA platform, this concept previews AMG’s first purpose-built electric performance line expected in 2026.
Revolutionary Battery & Charging
- Hyper-charging heroics with a new high-power battery, influenced by F1 and AMG ONE tech, can absorb over 850 kW, delivering around 400 km of range in just 5 minutes
- Next-gen thermal management featuring direct cell cooling and optimized high-voltage systems for exceptional continuous output.
Design That Demands Attention
- Sleek, purposeful and a low-slung, fastback quattro form echoes iconic AMG icons like the C111, featuring bold round taillights and an aggressive AMG grille.
- Aero ingenuity Achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.198 while housing active 21‑in aero wheels with dynamic blades for cooling and energy recapture.
- Slightly higher roofline, a hatchback rear window, and functional VIN hint this isn’t a far-off dream but a tangible near future model.
Purist cockpit with exposed technology
- The interiors are reduced to the race essentials, while offering a luxurious look and feel.
- Immersed in black along with silver and orange accents for minimal focus on various elements.
- The cockpit has two integrated screens featuring a seamless glass imitating classic sports engine block with AMG logo into it. The steering wheel is similar to the AMG ONE.
The Taycan Rivalry
- Set to battle toptier EV performance sedans like the Taycan Turbo GT and Lucid Air Sapphire
- Outstrips the Taycan’s 800 hp and 162 mph limit, Duke’s with Porsche in charging speed and avant-garde tech.
AMG layers its esports level drama on top expect simulated V‑8 sound, lightning-fast shift effects, and Audi-like showmanship.
What’s Truly Next?
Previewing a likely 2026 launch, based in Sindelfingen, Germany, alongside future AMG SUVs and hyper cars on the same platform.
The GT XX isn’t just hugging the competition, it’s aiming ahead. With mind-blowing specs and stage-ready swagger, it signals a brave new road for AMG where electric doesn’t mean silent or subdued: it means louder, faster, and rawer.
