What Mercedes-AMG Has Officially Revealed
The 2027 AMG GT 4-Door Coupe rides on the AMG-specific AMG.EA platform, has a tri-motor setup with up to 1,153 horsepower, faster charging than any station in the US can even deliver, active aerodynamics, and a highly customisable driving dynamics system.
Mercedes-AMG has confirmed GT 55 and GT 63 versions at launch. The GT 55 produces around 810 hp and the GT 63 peaks at 1,153 hp making it the most powerful series-production Mercedes ever built.
| Spec | GT 55 | GT 63 |
| Peak Power | ~810 hp | 1,153 hp |
| Motors | 3x Axial-flux | 3x Axial-flux |
| WLTP Range | up to 700 km | up to 696 km |
| DC Charging | 600 kW | 600 kW |
| 0-100 km/h | ~3.5 sec (est.) | ~2.8 sec (est.) |
| Drive | AWD | AWD |
The World's First Axial-Flux Production Car.Why It Matters
This is the biggest technical story in the whole reveal, and almost no Indian outlet will explain it properly. Here's your chance.
Mercedes acquired British axial-flux motor specialist YASA in 2021, and the new AMG GT is the brand's first production car to use them. Compared to the permanent magnet synchronous motors found in most EVs, axial-flux motors are smaller, lighter, more power-dense, and capable of repeated high-performance output in quick succession.
Think of it this way: a conventional EV motor is shaped like a cylinder the magnetic flux runs around the outside. An axial-flux motor is shaped like a flat disc the flux runs through the flat face. The result is a motor that's roughly 3x more power-dense for its size. In the AMG GT, the front motor unit is approximately 3.5 inches wide, and each of the two rear motors is approximately 3.2 inches wide. That's a motor barely wider than your hand producing supercar-level torque.
The axial-flux motors spin at over 13,000 rpm at top speed.
600 kW Charging Faster Than Any Charger Currently Exists in India
Mercedes-AMG claims a peak DC charging rate of 600 kW on suitable infrastructure, with a 10 to 80 per cent charge taking just 11 minutes.
To put that in context: the fastest chargers currently available in India top out at around 150-180 kW. Europe has 350 kW stations. The AMG GT's 600 kW capability is future-proofed it'll charge at whatever speed the infrastructure allows, and as India's charging network matures, this car will get faster refuelling times automatically.
The Fake V8 Sound System That's Actually Brilliant
In AMG FORCE S+ driving mode, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door plays a V8 engine note built from over 1,600 sound files, mapped from the AMG GT R's engine, and mixed in real time.
This isn't a loop of recorded engine noise it's a dynamic audio system that responds to throttle input, speed, and driving mode in real time, complete with simulated gear shifts felt through the steering wheel and seat. AMG calls the combined experience AMGFORCE. Love it or hate it, it solves the biggest emotional objection most AMG buyers have to going electric.

How It Compares to the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Other Rivals
| Model | Power | Range | 0-100 | Price (India est.) |
| AMG GT 63 EV (2027) | 1,153 hp | 696 km | ~2.8s | ₹2.8-3.5Cr (est.) |
| Porsche Taycan Turbo GT | 1,093 hp | 630 km | 2.2s | ₹2.95 Cr |
| BMW i4 M50 | 544 hp | 510 km | 3.9s | ₹1.10 Cr |
| Lucid Air Sapphire | 1,234 hp | 687 km | 1.89s | Not sold in India |
| Tesla Model S Plaid | 1,020 hp | 640 km | 2.1s | Not sold in India |
The AMG GT 63 EV is the only car in the world combining over 1,000 hp, over 650 km range, AND 600 kW charging capability in a single package. The Taycan Turbo GT is faster to 100 km/h but has less range and slower charging. The AMG wins on tech spec sheets; the Taycan wins on track purity.
Will the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door EV Come to India?
Mercedes-AMG has not confirmed India launch timing or pricing. However, Mercedes-Benz India has consistently brought AMG GT variants to India within 12–18 months of global reveal. The current AMG GT 4-Door Coupe (ICE) was sold here, and there's no reason to believe the EV successor won't follow.
Expected India price: ₹2.5-3.5 crore (ex-showroom) based on AMG GT ICE pricing here and the positioning relative to the Taycan Turbo GT (₹2.95 Cr currently). Watch for a CY2027 India launch announcement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door EV price in India?
Mercedes-AMG has not announced India pricing. Based on the ICE AMG GT 4-Door's pricing and segment positioning, an estimated range of ₹2.5-3.5 crore ex-showroom is likely when it arrives, probably in 2027.
How much horsepower does the new Mercedes-AMG GT Electric have?
The GT 63 produces a peak of 1,153 hp from three axial-flux motors. The GT 55 produces around 810 hp. Both use one motor at the front axle and two at the rear.
What is the range of the Mercedes-AMG GT Electric?
The GT 55 is rated at up to 700 km WLTP range. The GT 63 achieves up to 696 km WLTP.
What is an axial-flux motor and why does it matter?
An axial-flux motor runs its electromagnetic flux parallel to the rotation axis (like a flat disc) rather than around a cylinder. The result is a motor that's much smaller and lighter for the same power output. The AMG GT is the world's first series-production car to use them.
How fast does the AMG GT Electric charge?
Peak DC charging is rated at 600 kW, enabling a 10-80% charge in just 11 minutes on compatible infrastructure. This is faster than any charging station currently available in India or the US.
Is the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Electric better than the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT? On paper, the AMG GT 63 EV has more range (696 vs 630 km), faster charging (600 kW vs 320 kW), and comparable power. The Taycan Turbo GT is quicker to 100 km/h (2.2s vs ~2.8s). Both are extraordinary the AMG wins on touring capability, the Taycan on track-focused dynamics.
