• The sleek sedan will use three axial-flux electric motors and a large battery pack.
  • Mercedes has also teased an ICE-inspired soundtrack and fake gears.
  • Following in the footsteps of this model will be an all-electric SUV from AMG.

The all-electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door has been a long time coming, and a popular YouTuber may have just inadvertently leaked the all-new model. As the first EV built from the ground up by AMG, this new model will directly target the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.

The new model will debut in just a matter of hours, but it appears YouTuber MercBenzKing published a preview video of the car a little too early, with a nearly 10-minute-long clip briefly appearing on his page. While it was swiftly deleted, a screenshot of the video’s thumbnail was captured, giving us an unimpeded view of the car.

As recent prototypes have revealed, the front end is dominated by a gaping, wide blacked-out front grille, just like many other Mercedes models. Positioned just above this grille is a small slit running under the hood, likely to also aid in cooling. As for the headlights, they feature an intriguing shape with Three-Pointed Star daytime running lights. Compared to the old ICE-powered AMG GT 4-Door, this new one looks a bit like a catfish.

Somewhat making up for the EV’s odd front end is an exceptionally sleek roofline, with blacked-out wing mirrors and door handles that sit flush. A set of black wheels with red outer rims and red brake calipers is also visible.

Of course, it’s not just the design of this sedan that will impact whether or not it’s a success. Driving the wheels will be a trio of advanced Yasa axial-flux motors, likely combining to deliver over 1,000 hp. This will be more than enough to help the new AMG compete with the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.

Mercedes-AMG is also eager to ensure the car sounds like a proper AMG should. Recent testing videos have revealed that it will include a V8-inspired soundtrack and faux gears, as pioneered by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
