Affalterbach is taking a leap of faith with the new GT 4-Door Coupe, considering it replaces the old V8-powered model. The company is confident it can convince customers to switch from a brawny eight-cylinder machine to a tri-motor monster.<\/p>\n<p>Riding on the bespoke AMG.EA platform, the new \u201ccoupe\u201d is still a sedan like its predecessor. Well, technically, it\u2019s a five-door liftback since it has a tailgate. Body style terminology aside, it\u2019s a sight to behold. Essentially a production version of last year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/06\/25\/mercedes-amg-gt-xx-tri-motor-electric-super-sedan\/\">AMG GT XX,<\/a> it honestly doesn\u2019t tone down the styling all that much.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-513627\" title=\"MERCEDES AMG GT 4 DOOR COUPE 4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"MERCEDES AMG GT 4 DOOR COUPE 4\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Most Aggressive-Looking EV Yet?<\/h2>\n<p>It features an intimidatingly aggressive faux grille with vertical slats, along with prominent three-pointed stars in the headlights and taillights. Light bars at both ends emphasize the vehicle\u2019s width, while wheel sizes go up to 21 inches. AMG\u2019s belated answer to the Porsche Taycan also packs all sorts of aero tricks, including an active diffuser that extends from the body.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it\u2019s lugging around a massive 106-kWh battery pack underneath, the new GT 4-Door Coupe sits four centimeters (nearly 1.6 inches) lower to the ground than its V8-powered predecessor. Combined with a rakish windshield and a fastback-like profile, it\u2019s one of the sportiest-looking four-door cars we\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513632\" title=\"MERCEDES AMG GT 4 DOOR COUPE 7\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-7-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"MERCEDES AMG GT 4 DOOR COUPE 7\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-7-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-7-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-7-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Much like the exterior, the interior is bound to spark controversy. The entire dashboard is dominated by a triple-screen layout with thick bezels. The 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster sits next to a 14-inch infotainment display and a 14-inch passenger screen. Access to most functions has been integrated into the center display. However, there are still three driver-oriented physical knobs for adjusting various settings.<\/p>\n<p>Although the press shots show a four-seat cabin with two individual rear seats, Mercedes-AMG will also offer a five-seat configuration with a three-person rear bench. Since it has a tailgate, accessing the cargo area should be a breeze. With the rear seats in place, the high-performance EV offers 507 liters of cargo capacity. Should you need more, a front trunk adds another 62 liters.<\/p>\n<p>At 5094 millimeters or 200.5 inches long, the new GT 4-Door Coupe won\u2019t compete with next year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/05\/19\/electric-bmw-m3-za0-teaser-yellow-lights\/\">electric M3<\/a>. AMG\u2019s EV monster is a much larger vehicle that would rival an electric M5 if BMW decides to launch one. In the meantime, Mercedes is fitting its new flagship EV with three motors and standard all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n<h2>Staggering Power And Performance<\/h2>\n<p>The base version is the GT 55, with 805 horsepower and a whopping 1,800 Newton-meters (1,328 pound-feet) of torque. That\u2019s enough electric muscle for a sprint to 62 mph (100 km\/h) in 2.8 seconds and 124 mph (200 km\/h) in 9 seconds, before topping out at 186 mph (300 km\/h).<\/p>\n<p>Step up to the GT 63 and output climbs to 1,153 hp and 2,000 Nm (1,475 lb-ft). Mercedes-AMG quotes a 0-62 mph (0-100 km\/h) sprint in 2.4 seconds and a 0-124 mph (0-200 km\/h) run in 6.8 seconds, on the way to 186 mph (300 km\/h).<\/p>\n<p>Jaw-dropping performance aside, the GT 4-Door Coupe is also a charging monster. The battery supports 600-kW charging, delivering 286 miles (460 kilometers) of range in just 10 minutes. On a full charge, Mercedes-AMG estimates the hot EV will travel \u201cwell over\u201d 435 miles (700 kilometers) on the WLTP cycle.<\/p>\n<p>From the design to the technical specifications, it\u2019s shaping up to be one of the most interesting EVs in recent years. To spice things up, Mercedes is even embedding a \u201chighly authentic, AMG signature V8 sound spectacle\u201d so owners won\u2019t miss the twin-turbo 4.0-liter engine too much.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing hasn\u2019t been announced yet, but we\u2019re being told it\u2019ll be in the same ballpark as the first-generation model. The old V8-powered version started at around $160,000, while the base inline-six variant was priced from just over $100,000.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_513627\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-513627\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-513627\" title=\"MERCEDES AMG GT 4 DOOR COUPE 4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"MERCEDES AMG GT 4 DOOR COUPE 4\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mercedes-AMG-GT-4-Door-Coupe-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-513627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>xx<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Summary The first dedicated AMG high-performance electric model sprints to 62 mph (100 km\/h) in just 2.4 seconds.
