Mercedes-AMG could be developing an all-electric supercar, according to a recent report. The potential new model would represent the peak of the brand’s performance capabilities.
Autocar reports that a concept version of this supercar could be revealed by mid-2025. The vehicle is expected to utilize axial-flux electric motors, the same technology that will power other upcoming AMG electric vehicles, including a sedan and an SUV.
The motors are developed by Yasa, a Mercedes subsidiary. This company also supplies hardware to Lamborghini for the Temerario and Revuelto models. Furthermore, the Jaguar C-X75 and the Vision One-Eleven concept also used Yasa’s quad-motor setup. The new EV is said to draw inspiration from the 2023 Vision One-Eleven concept, a tribute to the experimental C111 series of the 1970s. The original C111 prototypes notably used rotary engines.
One source cited by Autocar suggests that the new electric supercar concept will be closely related to the Vision One-Eleven design. A next-generation battery, potentially solid-state, could provide power to the axial-flux motors. This technology promises enhanced performance. Earlier in the year, an EQS prototype with solid-state batteries was road-tested. This vehicle offered a maximum range of over 620 miles (1,000 kilometers).
However, the supercar concept’s focus will be on speed and acceleration. This vehicle’s aim is to become the quickest-accelerating AMG ever, possibly surpassing the GT 63 S E Performance, which can reach 62 mph in 2.8 seconds. The GT 63 S E Performance beats the AMG One by a tenth of a second.
