CONCEPT AMG GT XX.

Performance redefined: Mercedes-AMG is set to launch the new AMG Electric Architecture (AMG.EA)

A new Dimension of Performance

The future of AMG begins here.

The foundation for future electric vehicles introduces numerous innovations. The CONCEPT AMG GT XX will serve as the first car to showcase the AMG brand's potential in the electric age. All this is based on our timeless DNA and what AMG is all about: Ambition. The ambition to be bold and rebellious, to push the limits of the imaginary and exceed expectations.

Technology & Innovation

Breaking new ground, setting new standards.

The high performance AMG Electric Architecture (AMG.EA) drive concept introduces numerous technological innovations. At the heart of the CONCEPT AMG GT XX is a high-performance drive system designed to push the boundaries of electric vehicles. Featuring advanced axial flux motors, this system delivers unprecedented power and torque density for EVs.

Mission accomplished

True to the "Around the World in 8 Days" concept, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX covered a total of 40,075 kilometers in 7 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes, and 07 seconds, equivalent to the circumference of the Earth at the equator. Around 5,300 kilometers (3,293 miles) were covered per day, most of it at 300 km/h.

A new dimension of performance

The innovative axial-flux motors and the directly cooled battery thus demonstrated their unmatched endurance and performance in extreme heat and at very high speeds. At the same time, extremely short charging times were permanently available because the battery also always remained within an optimal temperature range.

Record-breaking streak

In addition, 25 long-distance performance records were broken on this occasion, the times of which were certified by independent experts. During the extremely intensive test program, hundreds of extremely short charging times with an average charging power of around 850 kW were performed. A total of 3,177 Nardò laps of 12.68 kilometers each were required.

Faster than ever before

Particularly noteworthy for us is the record for the longest distance ever covered by an electric vehicle in 24 hours. The previous record was less than 4,000 kilometers. The CONCEPT AMG GT XX significantly exceeded this figure: It covered 5,479 kilometers in 24 hours – 1,518 kilometers more than the previous record.

Setting new benchmark records

On the way to the finish, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX also set further performance records, for example the distance of 5,000 miles in 35:27:04 hours or 10,000 kilometers in 44:10:01 hours. Or 16,250 kilometers as the distance covered in just 48 hours.

Our next-generation axial flux motors embody pure AMG performance DNA, paving the way for the future of best-in-class electric driving. The concept car is powered by three high performance axial flux motors – one at the front and two at the rear. Beyond their impressive power and torque density, these motors offer a compact design, making them the perfect fit for a high performance vehicle.
