PROS
- Peak output of 860 kW (1,169 hp) during AMG Launch Control makes it the most powerful production AMG ever built, with a 0–100 km/h sprint of 2.1 seconds.
- 600 kW DC fast charging on the 800-volt architecture allows a 10-to-80 percent charge in 11 minutes, placing it among the fastest-charging production EVs currently available.
- A 415-litre boot and a 41-litre frunk give it genuine four-door practicality alongside its performance figures
CONS
- AC onboard charging is capped at 11 kW for both variants — unusually slow for a vehicle priced above €158,000, and a practical limitation for overnight home charging at scale.
- Production begins in summer 2026 at Sindelfingen with orders opening in Europe first; US pricing and market timing are unconfirmed
The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé is a flagship executive performance EV produced by Mercedes-AMG, the high-performance subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz. It sits in the E-segment as a five-door liftback with a rear-biased all-wheel-drive configuration driven by three electric motors — one on the front axle and two on the rear. The new model is the first all-electric production vehicle in AMG’s history, and the first model built on the new AMG.EA electric platform, which also introduces axial-flux motors to a production car for the first time.
The GT 4-Door is powered by a 106 kWh battery and launches in two trims: the GT 55, producing 805 hp, and the GT 63, producing 1,153 hp. Mercedes claims a WLTP range of 435 miles for the GT 4-Door — though Top Gear reports the GT 63 variant delivers around 370 miles at the lower end; EPA figures have not been published, though an EPA estimate closer to 300 miles is likely given the gap typical between WLTP and US-cycle results. On charging, AC onboard charging peaks at just 11 kW for both variants — a notable constraint at this price point. DC fast charging reaches up to 600 kW via the 800-volt architecture, enabling a 10-to-80 percent charge in approximately 11 minutes. All performance and range figures are preliminary — Mercedes-AMG’s own official listing explicitly states that confirmed values from an officially recognised testing organisation are not yet available, and deviations from stated figures are possible.
Pricing guidance is based on comparable predecessor models: approximately €158,800 for the GT 55 and €179,000 for the GT 63. US pricing for the new electric generation has not been confirmed. For African markets, no official distribution channel exists; grey-market import estimates from Europe place the GT 55 at approximately ₦280–310 million and the GT 63 at ₦315–350 million depending on logistics, duties, and exchange rate at the time of clearance. This vehicle suits the performance-focused buyer who wants four-door practicality without compromising track-day credentials — essentially the same profile as a Porsche Taycan Turbo GT buyer. Within the Mercedes-AMG lineup, it sits above the two-door AMG GT Coupé (ICE) and alongside the comfort-oriented Mercedes EQS 580 4Matic on price, though the two serve different purposes. External competition comes directly from the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and the Audi RS e-tron GT. The closest single comparison model on specification and price is the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, which shares a similar tri-motor architecture, 800V charging platform, and four-figure horsepower output at a comparable price tier.
