Everything You Need to Know About the All-Electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe

Mercedes-AMG is moving its four-door sports car into a fully electric future, and the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is the result. It is the first all-electric version of this model and the first car built on the new AMG.EA high-performance platform. At its core sits a drive system designed from the start for repeatable, track-ready power rather than a single quick launch.

This guide walks through what sets the new GT 4-Door Coupe apart, from its three-motor drivetrain to its fast-charging battery and its driver-focused controls. The car comes in two versions, the GT 55 4MATIC+ and the GT 63 4MATIC+, and the sections below break down how they compare and what each one offers.

At a Glance: GT 55 4MATIC+ vs. GT 63 4MATIC+

Both versions share the same core hardware. The clearest difference is peak output: the GT 55 is rated at 805 hp, while the GT 63 reaches up to 1,153 hp at full Launch Control. The platform itself is engineered to handle even higher outputs, beyond 1,340 hp, which gives you a sense of how much headroom the design holds.

A New Kind of AMG Drivetrain

The GT 4-Door Coupe uses three axial flux motors, one at the front axle and two at the rear. Axial flux motors route their magnetic field along the axis of rotation, which lets each unit stay thin and compact. The front pairing measures about nine centimetres wide, and each rear motor is roughly eight centimetres wide. The result is a lot of power packed into a small space, with strong continuous output and high torque.

Power reaches the road through AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. Because the motors are controlled independently, the car can shift torque front to rear and side to side as conditions change. Here is how that plays out:

• Torque vectoring sends power to the outer rear wheel for sharper, more stable cornering.
• The system can move from rear-wheel drive to all-wheel drive based on grip and driving situation.
• On snow and ice, sensors read wheel slip and redirect torque to the wheels that can use it.
• Each motor sits in a High-Performance Electric Drive Unit on its axle for direct, precise control.

The axial flux technology comes from YASA, a British motor specialist that has been part of Mercedes-Benz since 2021.

Performance Numbers That Matter

The GT 63 4MATIC+ is the quickest version. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 6.4 seconds. Top speed reaches 300 km/h with the optional Driver’s Package. These figures come from the three-motor drivetrain working with a battery built to deliver full power again and again, rather than only once.

Battery and Charging

The battery uses an 800-volt design with directly cooled cylindrical cells, drawing on technology from Formula 1. The cooling approach keeps cell temperatures even, which helps the car hold its performance under repeated hard use. Charging is a strong point:

• A charging rate of up to 600 kW.
• More than 460 kilometres of range added in about 10 minutes.
• A 10 to 80 percent charge in roughly 11 minutes.

Driving Feel, Sound, and Control

For drivers who miss the character of a V8, the car offers an AMGFORCE S+ mode. It produces an AMG V8 sound and adds a physical sensation of gear changes, including a brief pause in power to mimic shifting. A matching driver display rounds out the effect.

Three rotary controls on the centre console, part of the AMG RACE ENGINEER system, let you tune the car. Response Control adjusts how sharply the motors react to the accelerator. Agility Control changes cornering behaviour. Traction Control sets how much wheel slip the car allows, across nine stages. The AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL air suspension uses three-chamber air springs and active roll control to balance comfort and sharp handling, while the active AEROKINETICS system adjusts airflow for grip and stability at speed. Braking pairs carbon ceramic front discs with steel rear discs.

Which Trim Is Right for You?

The GT 55 4MATIC+ delivers 805 hp, far more than most drivers will use on the road, along with the same charging speed, all-wheel-drive system, and chassis technology as the GT 63. It suits buyers who want the full GT 4-Door Coupe experience with strong everyday performance.

The GT 63 4MATIC+ is built for those who want the highest output and the quickest acceleration the lineup offers. With up to 1,153 hp and a 2.1-second sprint to 100 km/h, it sits at the top of the range. Buyers choosing between the two are really deciding how much peak performance they want, since both share the same character and core engineering.
