2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Revealed - 1,169hp, 700km Range, 600kW Charging

Mercedes-AMG has officially revealed the all-new 2026 GT 4-Door Coupe, and it marks a complete powertrain overhaul. The second-generation Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe ditches the V8 entirely in favour of an all-electric setup built on the brand-new 800V AMG.EA platform.

2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe - Powertrain & Range

Two variants of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe are on offer. The GT 55 produces 816hp and sprints to 100km/h in under three seconds. The range-topping GT 63 uses three axial flux motors, two at the rear and one at the front, for a combined 1,169hp, with a 0-100km/h time of 2.1 seconds and a 0-200km/h run of just 6.4 seconds.

Both variants draw power from an underfloor 800V battery pack housing 2,660 cylindrical cells cooled by electrically non-conductive oil. Peak DC charging stands at 600kW, enough to recover 460km of range in ten minutes, with the battery fast charging from 10 to 80 per cent in eleven minutes.

WLTP range is rated at 700km for the GT 55 and 696km for the GT 63. The GT 63's peak output is available for 63 seconds before the system steps back to a sustained 721hp. Pulling both steering paddles simultaneously unlocks an additional 150hp boost.

The GT 4-Door is the first series-production car to use axial-flux motors, co-developed with British specialist YASA that AMG acquiredin 2021. Unlike conventional radial motors, where electromagnetic flux runs perpendicular to the rotation axis, axial flux designs run flux parallel, enabling dramatically higher power density in a slimmer package. Each rear motor sits in a shared housing just eight centimetres wide; the front unit measures nine centimetres.

2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe - Simulated V8 Soundtrack

In the AMG FORCE S+ driving mode, the Mercedes AMG GT 4-Door Coupe plays a V8 engine note built from over 1,600 sound files, mapped from the AMG GT R's engine, and mixed in real time. Steering paddle pulls generate haptic gear-shift interruptions that simulate a twin-clutch transmission. An adapted tachometer display on the central screen completes the illusion.

2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe - Chassis & Dynamics

The suspension system on the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is entirely new. AMG's active ride control replaces conventional anti-roll bars with semi-active hydraulically interconnected dampers, stiffening progressively through corners while remaining supple in a straight line.

Rear-axle steering adds up to six degrees of angle, counter-steering at low speed for sharper turn-in and same-direction steering above 80kph for stability. The independent rear motors handle torque vectoring with no traditional differential.

Active aerodynamics include underbody Venturi panels deploying at 120kph and 140kph, a speed-sensitive rear spoiler, and a nine-stage Airpanel louvre system managing cooling airflow.

2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe - Design & Features

Despite carrying a large underfloor battery, the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe sits 4cm lower than its V8 predecessor. At 5,094mm long and 1,411mm tall, the proportions remain genuinely sports car-like.

The GT 4-Door Coupe features a drag coefficient of 0.22 Cd, which is impressive for a car this size. Six circular turbine-design taillights with star graphics and an AMG-specific concave front grille define the exterior identity of the new Mercedes AMG GT 4-Door.

Inside, a seamless glass display unit combines a 10.2-inch instrument cluster with a 14-inch multimedia screen angled toward the driver. Three physical rotary dials on the centre console form the AMG Race Control Unit, letting the driver adjust response, agility, and traction across nine stages. Boot space is 507 litres, with a 62-litre frunk adding further practicality.
