IS THIS REALLY AMG'S FUTURE?! AMG GT XX AND THE REAL PROTOTYPE!

EV Channels Review

The AMG GT XX Concept represents Mercedes-AMG's bold vision for its electric future, built on the dedicated AMG.EA platform. While the concept's dramatic, C111-inspired exterior design is a mixed bag, with the rear and side profile receiving praise and the front end drawing criticism for not appearing wide enough, the interior is lauded as "incredible" and "stunning." It features a yoke steering wheel, motorsport-derived materials like leather made from recycled tires, and a driver-focused layout. Underneath, the concept boasts a powerful tri-motor setup with axial flux motors (developed by YASA) capable of over 1300 horsepower and an 850kW charging architecture promising 400km of range in just 5 minutes. The reviewer highlights that much of this technology is production-ready, though the final production car is expected to have a more traditional exterior design, as seen in prototype spy shots. Key takeaways include the potential for a "V8 mode" with simulated engine sounds and gear shifts, and the car's positioning as a direct competitor to the Taycan Turbo S and Tesla Plaid.
