AMG Has a New Super Sedan. Here's What It'll Look Like
Teaser images provide a clearer look at the AMG's GT 4-Door Coupe replacement.
Sometime next month, Mercedes-AMG will reveal its replacement for the GT 4-Door Coupe. We saw a shadowy teaser previewing the car’s silhouette, but new images provide a clearer look at the unnamed model.
It appears the new Mercedes will ditch the GT’s liftback design for a traditional trunk. There’s a clear body line separating the rear glass and the camouflaged rear spoiler, but it’s hard to know for sure until we see the real thing. It looks like a long, large car with flush door handles, massive multi-spoke wheels, and a coupe-like roof.
The AMG also appears to have a hood that opens, possibly revealing a front trunk. It’s tough to tell if the rear taillights are real units or decoys, but the headlights look like they're production-ready daytime running lights.
The new model will ride on the brand’s AMG.EA platform, which is supposed to result in fun-to-drive electric vehicles. There’ll be an SUV equivalent, with the two using YASA’s axial-flux motors—lightweight e-motors that can deliver up to 480 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque.
We still expect the car to weight quite a bit, though, which could affect how it handles. The AMG 4-Door GT plug-in hybrid with the V-8 weighs 5,269 pounds. That's heavier than a 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and nearly as heavy as a Chevrolet Tahoe.
The new car will have two electric motors, giving the sedan close to 1,000 horsepower and over 1,000 pound-feet of torque. However, it’s unclear if Mercedes will put one on each axle, giving it all-wheel drive, or attach both to the rear for maximum chaos. We say, why not both?
We should get all the details next month when AMG takes the camouflage off. This car could be the future of the AMG brand, if its customers allow it. Something tells us it'll take more than huge power figures and futuristic looks to win people over.
