   Mercedes-AMG Debuts GT SUV Electric High-Performance Vehicle

   Mercedes-AMG has announced the GT SUV, the brand's first electric SUV developed from the ground up. The vehicle delivers between 1,150 and 1,153 hp and utilizes an 800-volt architecture to enable ultra-fast charging. Positioned as a high-performance competitor to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric and Lucid Gravity, the GT SUV is designed to reach 60 mph faster than a Corvette. The model is identified as a 2027 or 2028 release depending on the source.

   Why it matters

   This marks a shift for AMG toward dedicated in-house electric platforms rather than adapting existing combustion frames. The vehicle follows the release of the GT four-door coupe, which also featured three axial flux motors.
