Mercedes-Benz has once again stolen the spotlight with the debut of the Mercedes AMG GT XX Concept, an all-electric four-door Gran Tourer that blends retro inspiration with cutting-edge technology. If the iconic orange Mercedes-Benz C111 prototypes of the 60s and 70s or the Vision One-Eleven Concept from 2023 caught your eye, the GT XX Concept will leave you speechless.
As Mercedes-AMG’s first fully electric concept car, the AMG GT XX is not just a showcase – it’s a statement of intent. With hypercar-like performance, revolutionary design, and race-proven technology, this concept brings the future of electric GTs closer than ever.
Design: Striking Looks With Aerodynamic Precision
One glance at the Mercedes AMG GT XX Concept and you know it’s designed to turn heads and cut air. This four-door coupe brings the aggression and elegance Mercedes is known for, all wrapped in a stunning orange shade that pays tribute to its classic C111 predecessor.
- Key Exterior Highlights:
- Illuminated Panamericana Grille with bold black finishing
- Massive bonnet air intakes for aerodynamic cooling
- Raked windscreen and flowing coupe roofline
- 21-inch aero wheels with low drag design
- Six 3D cylindrical LED tail lights connected by MBUX Fluid Light Panel
- Cd value of just 0.198 – one of the most aerodynamic designs in its class
Despite being a concept, the GT XX looks very close to production, with only minor differences like the missing rear windscreen (which is expected in the final version).
Futuristic Interior With Racing DNA
Step inside the AMG GT XX, and it feels like entering a spaceship fused with a Formula 1 cockpit. The interior focuses on both high-tech luxury and lightweight performance.
- Interior Features:
- Orange ambient lighting mimicking high-voltage cables
- Carbon fibre bucket seats made from recycled materials
- 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster
- 14-inch infotainment touchscreen with the latest MBUX software
- AMG-designed steering yoke with regen paddle shifters
- Minimalistic console layout with digital door flaps and floating center stack
The use of recycled and sustainable materials highlights AMG’s future-forward philosophy, while still maintaining the raw, motorsport-inspired aesthetics.
Powertrain & Battery: Formula 1-Inspired Tech
Under the sleek bodywork lies a monster powertrain built on AMG’s exclusive AMG.EA electric architecture. The Mercedes AMG GT XX Concept is powered by a massive 114 kWh NMC battery (Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt), which benefits from advanced liquid cooling tech inspired by Mercedes’ F1 power units.
- Technical Specs:
- Battery Capacity: 114 kWh
- Architecture: 800V high-performance platform
- Charging Speed: Up to 850 kW DC fast charging
- Range Boost: 400 km added in just 5 minutes
Such ultra-fast charging capabilities are set to redefine the long-distance usability of electric supercars.

Performance: Electric Hypercar Territory
Where the AMG GT XX Concept truly dominates is in performance. The EV is powered by three axial flux motors – one on the front axle and two at the rear, enabling precise torque vectoring and insane acceleration.
- Performance Figures:
- Total Output: 1,360 bhp (1,000+ kW)
- Top Speed: 360 km/h
- Drivetrain: Fully electric AWD with individual motor control
- Acceleration (0-100 km/h): Estimated under 2.5 seconds
Interestingly, Mercedes is set to become the first brand to launch a production EV with axial flux motors, a technology so far seen only in hybrid hypercars like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Lamborghini Temerario.
Expected Launch & Future Plans
The production version of the AMG GT XX is expected to arrive by late 2026, with a high-performance SUV based on the same platform also in the pipeline. This move indicates Mercedes-AMG’s serious entry into the high-end EV performance segment.
Both vehicles will likely share the AMG.EA architecture and battery setup, opening up a new chapter for the brand in electric grand touring and luxury SUV segments.
The Mercedes AMG GT XX Concept is not just another electric car; it’s a bold declaration of AMG’s electric future. With striking retro-inspired design, Formula 1 engineering, groundbreaking battery tech, and hypercar-level performance, the GT XX could redefine how we perceive electric grand tourers.
