21 May Mercedes Introduces the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé
(Oilandgaspress) -–The Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé redefines performance: With extreme power, enormous continuous performance, highly precise driving dynamics, and a thrilling AMG intensive driving experience, the four-door sports car catapults performance and driving pleasure to a new level. The 4‑Door Coupé is based on the high-performance AMG.EA architecture and consequently underlines Affalterbach’s pioneering spirit with numerous world firsts. Central to this is a newly developed drive concept, strictly designed for high performance, which is being used for the first time in a series-production EV.
It utilises a new, highly innovative electric motor technology, so-called axial flux motors, combined with a high-performance battery. The result is a drive unit that not only impressively delivers peak power but can also call upon it repeatedly and continuously, thereby shifting the benchmark in the high-performance segment. Mercedes‑AMG demonstrated the capability of this technology last year with the spectacular record drive of the CONCEPT AMG GT XX in Nardò. The technology demonstrator sprinted over 40,000 kilometres in seven days and 13 hours – literally driving “around the world in eight days” – and pulverised a total of 25 long-distance records in the process.
The chassis of the new AMG GT 4-Door Coupé is based on a multi-link axle design at both the front and rear. This layout allows for high lateral acceleration with minimal influence from drive forces.
The battery housing is part of the vehicle structure and integrated into the crash concept. The battery, high-voltage (HV) cables and additional HV components are designed and protected to meet the high Mercedes‑Benz safety requirements.
The high voltage of the 800-volt lithium-ion energy storage system also contributes to overall performance. Advantages of the high voltage include lower weight due to lighter wiring, higher continuous power, and shorter battery charging times. Charging losses through the charging cable are also significantly reduced.
Customers will be able to choose between two powerful powertrains at the start of ordering in the coming days: the Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupé and the Mercedes‑AMG GT 55 4-Door Coupé. The pricing for the models will be based on comparable predecessor vehicles.
