EV Channels Review
This video provides an in-depth look at Mercedes-AMG's upcoming GT 73e, a V8 hybrid powerhouse. The reviewer highlights the innovative P3 hybrid system, which places the electric drive unit (EDU) on the rear axle, integrating the electric motor, a two-speed transmission, and a limited-slip differential. This setup, developed with F1 technology, contributes to a combined output of up to 800 horsepower and over 1000 Nm of torque, promising a sub-3-second 0-60 mph time. Key features include a 400-volt AMG Performance Battery with advanced cell-specific cooling for consistent power delivery, and selectable four-stage recuperation. The reviewer notes the system adds approximately 200 kg but anticipates that AMG's engineering will mitigate handling impacts. The video also previews the exterior design hints from a camouflaged car, including a unique front intake and the new 'e performance' badge, while questioning the placement of the charging port. Looking ahead, the reviewer speculates on other models receiving this V8 hybrid powertrain, such as the S73e, G73, and SL73, and also introduces the upcoming pure EV AMGs based on the EQ series, promising V8-like performance in a 43/53 segment. The reviewer expresses excitement for these new AMG offerings, despite the shift away from traditional V8s.
