Mercedes-AMG has officially begun teasing its first all-electric performance sedan, the AMG GT 4-door Coupe EV. This prototype, seen briefly in a new promotional film featuring Brad Pitt and Mercedes F1 driver George Russell, represents the production evolution of the Concept AMG GT XX shown earlier this year. It also marks a pivotal moment for AMG, as it becomes the first model built on the brand’s dedicated AMG.EA electric architecture that will underpin future high-performance EVs from the company ahead of its global debut in 2026.
The teaser offers a clear look at the GT 4-door Coupe EV’s exterior silhouette, which closely echoes the iconic proportions of its combustion-powered counterpart. The car maintains the familiar long bonnet and low-slung fastback stance, but the surfaces have been noticeably smoothed out to suit its electric identity. The nose now wears a cleaner, more aerodynamic design with a sealed-off fascia, while flush door handles and subtle creases across the bodywork hint at a drag-optimised approach. The roofline flows more fluidly toward the rear deck, and the rear profile has been sculpted to reduce turbulence, signalling AMG’s intent to balance aesthetics with performance-focused efficiency. The lighting signatures appear production-ready, and the body panels look near-final, suggesting that Mercedes-AMG is already entering the later stages of testing.
Inside details remain under wraps, but the exterior presence alone indicates AMG’s determination to retain the drama and muscularity associated with its petrol-powered GT lineup, even as it adapts the form to a fully electric platform. This balance between heritage and innovation is a key theme that Mercedes emphasised in the teaser, positioning the new GT EV not just as an electric model but as a direct descendant of the AMG performance lineage.
What sets the GT 4-door Coupe EV apart technically is its dedicated AMG.EA platform. This new architecture is engineered around high-output electric motors developed exclusively for AMG applications. These compact units are expected to deliver sustained high performance, even under repeated acceleration loads — a hallmark of AMG’s philosophy. The powertrain is likely to include axial-flux motors, known for their efficiency and strong power density, paired with a liquid-cooled, motorsport-inspired battery system designed to maintain temperature stability under extreme driving conditions. This focus on cooling and consistency reflects AMG’s intent to make the GT EV every bit as capable and durable as the brand’s petrol-powered performance sedans.
The teaser also confirms that AMG plans to extend this platform into other body styles, with a full-size electric SUV expected roughly a year after the GT 4-door Coupe EV makes its global debut. The timing of the reveal, coinciding with the Las Vegas GP weekend, underscores AMG’s effort to connect its electric future directly to its motorsport presence. Full technical specifications and performance numbers will be disclosed closer to the international unveiling in 2026, but the initial preview makes it clear that AMG aims to deliver one of the most performance-focused electric sedans in the world.
