Mercedes-AMG unveils its first ground-up electric SUV with 1,150 horsepower

Mercedes-AMG has officially introduced the 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT SUV, the performance brand's first vehicle built from the ground up as an electric SUV. Following the release of the GT four-door coupe, this new model shares the same high-performance DNA, featuring three axial flux motors that generate an impressive 1,150 horsepower. Designed as an ultra-fast-charging, high-performance people-hauler, the vehicle aims to bridge the gap between track-ready sports car dynamics and the utility of a large SUV. While specific pricing and full technical specifications are still being finalized, the announcement signals a significant shift in AMG’s electrification strategy. By focusing on proprietary motor technology and advanced battery architecture, Mercedes-AMG intends to maintain its reputation for power and speed in the transition to an all-electric lineup. The GT SUV is expected to be a flagship offering, showcasing the brand's commitment to high-end electric mobility.
