2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT XX Concept

• 1,340 hp electric concept with real-world bones—VIN and production-ready design.

• Tri-motor powertrain using compact Yasa axial-flux motors and oil-cooled tech.

• Positioned to tussle with Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, Lucid Air Sapphire in EV super‑GT arena.

First Glance: Brutal Elegance

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept lands without fanfare, yet demands attention. It’s low, broad, and distinctly muscular—224 mph hinted at by its stance alone. A four‑door fastback, but utterly compact, thanks to slender windshield pillars and coupe-like silhouette. Feels ready for the Nürburgring and the Nordschleife in equal measure.

Surface Form & Aero Artistry

Orange paint—the kind of shade Mercedes calls Sunset Beam—wraps around sculpted arches and aggressive lines. Look closer: active aero wheels with carbon blades open for brake cooling, close for drag. Front and rear active grilles manage airflow in stages. Drag is low—Cd around 0.198—despite wide tracks and big tires.

At rear, six circular LEDs with a Fluid Light Panel of over 700 RGB pixels don’t scream, they communicate —charging status, messages, you name it. Headlights even have speakers to simulate a deep V‑8 note.

Electric Heart: Tri-Motor Fury

Underneath, the GT XX rides on AMG.EA’s new EV platform with three axial-flux motors—two rear, one up front. Total output? 1,340–1,341 hp, pushing it past rivals. Rear motors pack 860+ hp, front engages only when needed. All coupled with an 800‑V battery and oil-cooled packs. The result: insane torque, high power density, and repeatable performance without heat fade.

Charge & Track Focus

Its battery is built for endurance and speed. Over 850 kW average charging, meaning it can add roughly 250 miles (400 km) in five minutes. AMG wants triple hot laps of the Nürburgring without fade. Tech? Battery cells in oil bath, F1-grade cooling, silicon-carb inverters, and active aerodynamics.

Context & Comparison

No, this isn’t a luxury cruiser. Mercedes built this to spar with the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Lucid Air Sapphire—maybe even shake up the electric super‑GT rank. Unlike Bugatti or Rolls, it’s sharpened for track. Ferrari and Aston Martin are playing evo‑GT; AMG is playing full‑tilt electric.
