Electric GT, New Tech
Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe coverage centers on a fully electric four-door coupe that uses axial-flow motors and an AMG.EA platform built for performance, with the Jalopnik piece saying the car has “unbelievable performance figures” and that it is “absolute dynamite to drive.” The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT55 4-Door Coupe’s Boost mode raises output from 557 horsepower to 805 hp for 55 seconds, and the GT63 4-Door Coupe’s Boost mode lifts output from 711 hp to 1,153 hp for 63 seconds.
Ars Technica ties the driving feel to Mercedes’ Active Ride Control suspension, steering “including up to six degrees at the rear axle,” and active aerodynamics, while it highlights the axial flux motors’ dimensions and peak output figures. PistonHeads adds that the GT 4-Door Coupe’s AMG.EA platform is designed around “a trio of completely independent axial-flux motors,” and it states the GT 63 4Matic+ has a 600kW peak enabling “the addition of 286 miles in just 10 mins.”
Boost, Charging, and Output
The GT55’s torque peaks at 1,372 lb-ft indefinitely, and the GT63’s torque peak is 1,475 lb-ft. The AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupe produces 1153 hp and 1475 lb-ft of torque, and Boost mode lasts “63 seconds.”
Ars Technica reports that the AMG GT 63’s axial flux motors output up to 1,153 hp (860 kW) of peak power, with a nominal output of 711 hp (530 kW) and 1,475 lb-ft (2,000 Nm), and it adds that “During Boost mode, the additional horsepower is available for 63 seconds.” The Jalopnik piece frames the cabin and controls around Race Engineer, and it says “These three dials control what Mercedes calls Race Engineer,” which helps adjust inputs and outputs for “spirited driving.”
Sound Simulation and Stakes
Mercedes’ AMGFORCE Sport+ is a simulation that uses “the Burmester 4D sound exciters in the seats,” and the system produces vibrations to replicate what a real V-8 would feel like. The GT 4-Door Coupe uses “electro-dynamic transducers” and the fake V8 can be “heard, but also feel,” while it also criticizes the car’s “inexplicable face and gaudy interior.”
Autozone-mag frames the GT 4-Door Coupé’s performance and durability as a leadership push, and it says the car delivers “up to 1,169 horsepower” with axial-flow motors and a high-performance battery. The GT 4-Door’s cabin features plenty of digital real estate, but there are more than a few physical knobs and buttons scattered about.
