Mercedes-AMG Unveils the CONCEPT AMG GT XX: A Game-Changing All-Electric Hypercar

SME News UK. Affalterbach, Germany – Mercedes-AMG has revealed its most ambitious electric project yet: the CONCEPT AMG GT XX, a futuristic four-door hypercar that delivers groundbreaking performance, Formula 1-inspired technology, and a bold design vision that redefines the electric sports car segment.

With over 1,360 horsepower and a top speed exceeding 360 km/h, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX introduces a revolutionary drivetrain powered by three axial flux motors and a newly developed High Performance Electric Battery (HP.EB). The result is unmatched continuous performance, lightning-fast charging, and a new benchmark in electric vehicle engineering.

A Vision of Future Performance

The CONCEPT AMG GT XX is more than a design study—it’s a technology program that previews the direction of AMG’s future production models. Built on the new AMG Electric Architecture (AMG.EA) platform, the concept car showcases a range of innovations, from its lightweight body structure and aerodynamic efficiency to its Formula 1-derived battery cooling and energy management systems.

According to Markus Schäfer, Chief Technology Officer at Mercedes-Benz Group AG, “This concept pushes boundaries and redefines what’s possible with electric performance. It’s the culmination of global expertise across our R&D teams, from Affalterbach to Brixworth.”

Next-Generation Electric Powertrain

At the heart of the GT XX lies a trio of axial flux motors, developed in collaboration with British specialist YASA, a Mercedes-Benz subsidiary. These motors offer significantly higher power density, reduced weight, and superior thermal performance compared to traditional radial flux motors.

Key highlights include:

• Over 1,000 kW of peak output
• Axial flux motors packaged in High Performance Electric Drive Units (HP.EDUs)
• 0–100 km/h acceleration expected under 2.5 seconds
• Range recovery of up to 400 km in just 5 minutes via ultra-fast charging

The new high-voltage battery features NCMA cell chemistry, direct liquid cooling, and 800V architecture, delivering high endurance even under aggressive driving conditions.

Radical Design Meets Iconic AMG DNA

Visually, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX is an aggressive fastback with a long bonnet, muscular proportions, and signature AMG details, including an evolved Panamericana grille and deep rear diffuser inspired by the AMG ONE. The striking sunset beam orange paint finish enhances its futuristic presence.

Inside, the cabin is stripped down like a race car but finished with high-quality materials and illuminated structural elements that echo the high-voltage components. Two large digital displays dominate the minimalist cockpit, putting the driver at the center of a high-tech experience.

Built for the Track — and the Future

From its active aerodynamics to intelligent thermal management, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX isn’t just about raw speed. Every aspect of the vehicle is engineered for sustainability, repeatable performance, and long-term durability. Mercedes-AMG plans to bring its key technologies from the GT XX into production models starting in 2026.

Conclusion

With the CONCEPT AMG GT XX, Mercedes-AMG signals a bold shift in the future of high-performance mobility. Combining race-proven innovation, next-gen electric power, and unmistakable AMG character, the GT XX positions itself as a future icon in the making—and a serious contender in the electric hypercar space.
