Mercedes-AMG GT XX stuns with futuristic design and triple-motor EV power

The AMG GT XX is the brand's first series-production model, boasting over 1,360 bhp from three axial flux motors, an ultra-fast charging battery, and a cutting-edge design, setting a new benchmark for electric performance vehicles.

This is the brand's first series-production model. With over 1,360 bhp from three axial flux motors, a battery with ultra-fast charging, and a striking design, the GT XX sets a new standard for electric performance vehicles.

The GT XX utilizes a 114 kWh battery featuring tall, slim nickel-manganese-cobalt cells housed in aluminum casings. Each cell is cooled via direct-contact liquid channels. At the heart of the GT XX are three axial flux motors, developed in collaboration with YASA, a UK-based subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz. These motors deliver over 1,000kW of peak output, translating to 1,360bhp, enabling speeds exceeding 360kmph and a drag coefficient of 0.198. Compared to conventional radial flux motors, axial flux motors are three times more powerful and lighter, providing unparalleled performance and efficiency.

The rear High-Performance Electric Drive Unit (HP.EDU) combines two oil-cooled motors with a planetary gearset and silicon carbide inverters, while the front HP.EDU houses a single motor with a spur-gear transmission. To enhance efficiency, a disconnect unit (DCU) decouples the front motor during steady driving. The AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system ensures fully variable torque distribution for optimal grip and handling.
