Mercedes-AMG strategically chose the high-profile Las Vegas Grand Prix to showcase a near-production version of its upcoming all-electric hyper sedan. The reveal featured a heavily-revised design, shedding most of its camouflage in a striking move that signals the vehicle is nearing its market launch.
Design and Aerodynamics
The new model builds upon the AMG GT XX concept, sporting distinctive starry headlights and a completely sealed grille. The front fascia incorporates vertical air curtains and a subtle splitter, optimizing airflow for performance. The sloping roofline and streamlined bodywork suggest a focus on aerodynamic efficiency. Flush-mounted door handles further enhance the vehicle’s sleek profile.
Interior Tech and Platform
While interior shots remain limited, previous spy photos confirm a flat-bottom steering wheel and a large, freestanding curved display—elements mirroring the concept vehicle. Crucially, this hyper sedan will be built on the all-new AMG.EA platform. Mercedes touts this platform as a technological leap, combining aluminum, steel, and fiber composites for lightweight strength and exceptional rigidity.
Power and Performance
The AMG.EA platform is designed to accommodate a cutting-edge battery system paired with up to three axial flux motors. The concept version boasted a combined output exceeding 1,341 horsepower (1,000 kW), indicating the production model will deliver extreme performance capabilities. Mercedes has been developing this vehicle for almost two years, signaling a long-term commitment to high-end electric performance sedans.
The Las Vegas debut confirms Mercedes-AMG is pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle design and engineering, aiming for a hyper sedan that redefines the luxury performance segment. The choice of the event underscores the brand’s focus on technological innovation and high-octane experiences.
