The All-Electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe: A Complete Guide
The All-Electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe: A Complete Guide The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is going fully electric. The all-new model is the first all-electric version of this four-door sports car and the first vehicle built on the AMG.EA high-performance platform. It pairs a three-motor drive system with a battery designed for fast charging and steady power, so the car can perform hard and then recover quickly.
This guide covers the parts of the car that matter most to buyers: how fast it charges, how it puts power down in any weather, what kind of acceleration it offers, and how its two versions differ. The lineup includes the GT 55 4MATIC+ and the GT 63 4MATIC+, and the sections below explain what each one brings.
| Feature | GT 55 4MATIC+ | GT 63 4MATIC+ |
|---|---|---|
| Electric motors | Three axial flux motors | Three axial flux motors |
| Drive system | AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive | AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive |
| Maximum charging rate | 600 kW | 600 kW |
| Battery voltage | 800 volts | 800 volts |
| Peak system output | 805 hp | Up to 1,153 hp |
Charging and Range
Charging speed is one of this car's strong points. The battery runs on an 800-volt system with directly cooled cylindrical cells, a layout drawn from Formula 1. Direct cooling keeps every cell at an even temperature, which protects performance during repeated hard driving and during fast charging.
- 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.
For a high-performance car, the ability to add real range in the time it takes to grab a coffee changes how you can use it on a longer drive.
All-Wheel Traction in Every Condition
The GT 4-Door Coupe sends power to the road through AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, using three axial flux motors, one at the front and two at the rear. Because each motor is controlled on its own, the car can place torque exactly where it is needed.
- Torque shifts between the front and rear axles based on grip.
- Torque vectoring splits power between the two rear wheels for cleaner cornering.
- On snow and ice, sensors detect wheel slip and route power to the wheels with traction.
Mercedes-AMG completed final cold-weather testing of near-production cars on the frozen lakes and snow-covered roads of northern Sweden, tuning the traction and control systems for low-grip surfaces. The three-motor setup gives the car fine control over how power lands, which helps on demanding roads.
Power and Acceleration
The GT 63 4MATIC+ leads the lineup for speed. It reaches 100 km/h from a standstill in 2.1 seconds and 200 km/h in 6.4 seconds, with a top speed of 300 km/h when fitted with the optional Driver's Package. That comes from the three-motor drivetrain and a battery able to supply full power repeatedly. The GT 55 4MATIC+, at 805 hp, delivers strong acceleration of its own while sharing the same all-wheel-drive system.
Suspension, Aero, and the AMG Race Engineer
The AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL air suspension uses three-chamber air springs and active roll control, with hydraulics that replace traditional anti-roll bars. The setup smooths out rough surfaces and keeps the body flat through corners. Active AEROKINETICS parts, including venturi airflow channels and a rear diffuser, adjust to keep the car planted at speed.
Three rotary controls on the centre console, part of the AMG RACE ENGINEER system, let the driver set response, cornering, and traction to taste. There is also an AMGFORCE S+ mode that produces an AMG V8 sound and a physical sense of gear changes for drivers who want that classic feel. Braking uses carbon ceramic front discs and steel rear discs.
Choosing Between the GT 55 and GT 63
The GT 55 4MATIC+ offers 805 hp, the same 600 kW charging, the same all-wheel-drive system, and the same suspension and aero technology as the GT 63. It fits buyers who want the full GT 4-Door Coupe package with everyday performance that is more than quick enough.
The GT 63 4MATIC+ is for buyers who want the most output and the fastest acceleration in the range, with up to 1,153 hp and a 2.1-second run to 100 km/h. Since both versions share the same engineering and the same charging speed, the decision really comes down to how much peak power you are after.
