Mercedes-AMG has shattered expectations with the debut of its first all-electric concept, the GT XX – a technological tour de force that combines staggering performance with groundbreaking EV innovation. This isn’t just another electric car; it’s a 1,360-horsepower statement of intent from AMG, proving that electrification can elevate performance to unprecedented heights.
At the heart of the GT XX lies a revolutionary tri-motor axial flux setup, delivering a combined 1,360 horsepower – making it one of the most powerful production-bound EVs ever conceived.
Unlike conventional radial flux motors, these compact yet immensely powerful units offer greater efficiency and instantaneous torque delivery. The result? A claimed 0-100 kph time well under 2.3 seconds and a top speed exceeding 360 kph, putting it firmly in hypercar territory.

The GT XX introduces AMG’s all-new battery architecture with direct cell cooling technology, where each individual cell is temperature-controlled for optimal performance. This not only enables faster charging (10-80 per cent in under 12 minutes) but also ensures consistent power delivery even under extreme track conditions. AMG claims the system can endure multiple full-throttle laps without performance degradation – a common Achilles’ heel for high-performance EVs.
With a drag coefficient of just 0.198, the GT XX is among the most aerodynamically efficient cars ever built. Active aerodynamics, including deployable front splitters and a multi-stage rear wing, adjust in real-time to balance downforce and minimal drag. The design isn’t just functional – it’s breathtaking, with dramatic proportions, gullwing doors, and a futuristic take on AMG’s signature grille.
The GT XX isn’t merely a concept; it’s a preview of AMG’s electric future. While production details remain under wraps, insiders suggest a limited-run model could arrive by 2026, potentially wearing the “AMG ONE of EVs” mantle. It’s set to battle the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, Tesla Roadster, and Rimac Nevera in the ultimate electric performance showdown.
Purists may question whether an electric AMG can deliver the same visceral thrill as its V8-powered icons. But with a synthesized “AMG Electric Performance Sound”, rear-wheel steering, and torque vectoring, the GT XX promises an intensity that could make even the most devout petrolheads reconsider.
