You might have never thought that an electric car can reach a speed of 360+ km/h? Or is a range top-up of 400km in 5 minutes possible?
But the Mercedes-AMG GT XX proves all this.
This is AMG's first all-electric concept, which packs not just a futuristic design but also Formula 1 and Hypercar tech into a single EV.
Let's know every layer of this electric beast in detail.

Mercedes-AMG GT XX Specifications.
The biggest highlight of the Mercedes-AMG GT XX is its powertrain. This concept car uses three axial flux motors, two on the rear axle and one on the front axle.
Their total power output is 1360hp, making it the most powerful AMG to date. These axial flux motors are smaller, lighter, and 3x more energy dense than conventional radial motors.
The rear motors are packaged in a single unit with the gearset and inverter, and are also oil-cooled. Its drivetrain is primarily rear-wheel drive, but the front motor tab is activated when extra traction or performance is needed.
Performance: Insane Acceleration With 360+ KPH Top Speed.
When it comes to performance, the Mercedes-AMG GT XX is not just about looks; it is also stunning in numbers. It has a top speed of over 360 km/h, which is comparable to a hyper-EV.
And a drag coefficient of just 0.198, which sets a benchmark in the aerodynamic efficiency market. Despite the high power, this car can maintain consistent performance, thanks to its smart motor layout and battery cooling system.
Battery & Charging: 400KM Range in Just 5 Minutes.
Battery tech is another highlight of this Mercedes GT XX car. The 114kWh NMC battery uses cylindrical cells with aluminium casing for better cooling and discharge. Each cell gets a direct cooling system where a special coolant flows through plastic modules.
This battery is based on an 800V architecture and supports DC fast charging up to 850kW. AMG says you can top up the range by up to 400km in just 5 minutes – now this is not sci-fi, this is real-world AMG.
Mercedes-GT XX Design: Inspired By Vision AMG, But Even Wilder.
Talking about the design, it carries a modern-meets-retro look. The front-end, inspired by the C111 concept car of the 1960s, features a concave Panamericana grille flanked by rectangular auxiliary lights. The front splitter is integrated with an air curtain that streamlines the airflow.
The rear section features 6 circular tail-lights, a carbon fibre diffuser, and a Fluid Light Panel that has 700+ RGB LEDs that can display messages and animations. There is no rear windshield, which is a deliberate design decision for aerodynamics.
Another super-cool feature is the MBUX Fluid Light Paint – the sills of the car get glow-in-the-dark paint that also indicates charging status. The blades of the 21-inch electronically controlled aero-wheels open or close according to braking and aero-efficiency.
Interior: Luxury Meets Race Car Vibe.
Inside, the Mercedes-AMG GT XX feels like a race car with luxury touches. The all-black cabin gets orange and silver accents, chequered flag graphics on the floor and door pads, and exposed dashboard struts. The dashboard’s vertical struts and orange piping are inspired by high-voltage cables.
In front of the driver are a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a 14-inch infotainment screen that runs on the latest MB.com OS. The yoke-style steering gets paddle shifters that can control regenerative braking.
At the rear, carbon-fibre bucket seats are directly integrated into the structure. The headliner has been removed to expose the carbon-fibre shell. The sustainable interior uses leather made from recycled GT3 tyres, and bio-silk door handles – eco-friendly yet premium.
Mercedes-AMG GT XX Launch Date in India.
Mercedes has confirmed that the production model of the GT XX could launch by the end of 2026. The car will be based on a dedicated AMG. The EA electric platform and an SUV version are expected after that.
While other performance brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche are delaying their EV plans, Mercedes is taking this futuristic step, full speed ahead!
AMG GT XX Price in India: Most Powerful AMG Ever.
Although the official price of the Mercedes-AMG GT XX has not been revealed yet, considering the cutting-edge tech, hypercar-level performance, and luxury + sustainable interior, the production version of the Mercedes-AMG GT XX is expected in the multi-crore range.
