Mercedes-AMG Gears Up for Electric Supercar Concept
Mercedes-AMG is poised to unveil a new all-electric supercar concept, signaling a leap forward in the brand’s electric performance capabilities. The carmaker aims to rewrite the definition of ‘electric performance’ with this new design, according to sources.
“Where the EQXX aimed to go the furthest, this aims to go the fastest. It will be the fastest-accelerating car AMG has ever produced,” an insider at Mercedes-AMG told Autocar. The concept is slated for release in the middle of the year.
The new supercar is expected to draw design cues from the One-Eleven concept that was revealed in 2023. The car will also feature AMG’s next-generation drivetrain technology, including an axial-flux electric motor developed by the Mercedes-owned UK company, Yasa. This powertrain will also be utilized in the Mercedes-AMG GT SUV and the electric version of the GT 4-Door Coupé.
Furthermore, the concept will showcase the next generation of battery technology, potentially incorporating a solid-state unit. This could be developed in collaboration with Mercedes’ High-Performance Powertrain division in Brixworth.
The AMG electric supercar concept is part of the car maker’s 2-year product launch program.
