- Mercedes-AMG is teasing a new car that will be revealed in June, and it looks like it will be the electric successor to the four-door AMG GT.
- Mercedes first hinted at this car with the 2022 Vision AMG concept, before showing photos of it testing in camouflage last year.
- The AMG EV will pair an aerodynamic design with new axial-flux motors that promise to be powerful, lightweight, and compact.
UPDATE 5/9/25: After releasing a shadowy teaser image of the electric AMG sedan at the end of April, Mercedes has now published a series of photos on Facebook of the car in camouflage. We can spot the three-pointed star motif in the headlights and taillights, a long hood, and an aerodynamic roofline.
While a second generation of the muscular Mercedes-AMG GT coupe arrived for the 2024 model year, the four-door AMG GT model soldiered on with a slightly tweaked front end and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain. Now, that AMG GT, which offers six-cylinder and eight-cylinder powertrains, is set to be replaced by an all-electric model. Mercedes just teased this AMG-exclusive EV on Instagram ahead of its reveal in June, showing off a shadowy image of an aerodynamic profile.Mercedes-AMGNot many details can be deciphered from the dark picture, but we can clearly see a cut line in the burly rear haunches, confirming that this electric Mercedes will feature four doors. The current AMG GT four-door is a liftback, with a sloping roofline that incorporates a rear hatchback. It appears Mercedes will stick with this approach instead of a more traditional three-box sedan layout. Mercedes first teased this car with the Vision AMG concept in 2022, and while many of the details, like the translucent side windows, likely won’t make production, we expect other identifying features to carry over. Mercedes has increasingly incorporated its three-pointed-star logo into its headlights and taillights, and the AMG EV could be the boldest interpretation of this motif yet if it follows the lead of the Vision AMG. The three-piece taillights, which glowed like a fighter jet’s afterburners on the concept, also appear to be reaching production in some form based on photos of a camouflaged prototype released by Mercedes. Mercedes-AMGMercedes-AMGThe Mercedes-AMG EV will ride on a dedicated platform called AMG.EA, which will feature a high-voltage battery that should provide rapid charging times and axial-flux motors. These new motors are being developed by British company Yasa, which Mercedes acquired in 2021 and claims provides the ideal blend of power density, size, and weight. The four-door fastback will be followed by an electric AMG SUV based on the same platform.Mercedes-BenzThe Mercedes-AMG EV sedan is expected to arrive for the 2026 model year and may live alongside the gas-powered GT four-door for a couple of years, especially since the GT63 S E Performance plug-in hybrid only became available in 2024. The Mercedes-AMG electric SUV should hit the road soon after.This story was originally published April 28, 2025.More Upcoming Mercedes EVsCaleb Miller began blogging about cars at 13 years old, and he realized his dream of writing for a car magazine after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University and joining the Car and Driver team.
