Mercedes-AMG is pressing on with trials of its headline electric project—the new GT 4-Door Coupe EV—whose premiere is slated for 2026. Built on the fresh AMG.EA platform, it will become the division’s first electric sedan with a laser focus on extreme performance.The prototype was spotted at the Nürburgring with an unusual touch: a hood peppered with ventilation openings. According to experts, these could serve both to cool the axial electric motors and the battery, and to relieve aerodynamic pressure at high speeds.The development takes its cues from the AMG GT XX concept, which set 25 records at the Nardò test track: over a week of testing, it covered 40,000 km at an average of 300 km/h and demonstrated charging at more than 850 kW. That kind of pace meant restoring 400 km of range in just five minutes.As for the road car, rumors point to as much as 1,300 hp—enough to eclipse even Tesla’s quickest variants. The electric sedan will feature all-wheel drive, a closed-off grille with active cooling elements, and an interior aimed at premium comfort while keeping race-bred urgency intact. The aggressively vented hood alone suggests a machine engineered to run hard, not just collect spec-sheet victories.Mercedes-AMG is clearly lining up a direct challenge to the Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. Expect this GT to be among 2026’s most talked-about debuts—and not just because of its headline power.
