New Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Prepares for Launch
The preparation for the release of the fully electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door sedan has been lengthy, but the car is nearing the market, having recently completed winter testing in Northern Europe. During this time, new details have emerged that give an idea of how far Mercedes is willing to go to make this model feel like a true AMG.
The sedan will receive three axial-flow electric motors and an advanced pneumatic suspension. The Agility Control system will be able to significantly alter the car’s handling balance.
Power and Control Systems
The final power output of the production sedan, scheduled for launch in the spring, has not yet been confirmed, but the concept has already demonstrated the ability to produce up to 1341 hp. The car will receive a complex vehicle dynamics control system with three modes: Response, Agility, and Traction.
The Response Control system alters the behavior of the electric motors depending on accelerator pedal commands and the selected driving mode. The Agility Control system specializes in adjusting the car’s behavior in corners, dynamically distributing power to create a feeling of a shorter or longer wheelbase, as well as varying from mild understeer to controlled drift.
This means that even as an electric vehicle, this car will be able to enter controlled drifts. The traction control system offers nine levels of adjustment, similar to systems in previous generations of the AMG GT R and AMG GT Black Series.
Brakes and Suspension
Mercedes-AMG has also confirmed an unconventional braking system: carbon-ceramic discs at the front are paired with steel ones at the rear. The suspension system appears particularly advanced and includes adjustable air springs, semi-active anti-roll bars, and adjustable dampers.
According to AMG, the system will provide a wide range of capabilities, smoothing out road imperfections and increasing stiffness as speed rises. It is designed to balance comfort and precision in corners, both during daily commutes and on the track.
Battery Cooling System
The AMG GT 4-Door’s battery pack will receive direct cooling. A non-conductive oil circulates around each individual cell to maintain optimal temperature regardless of conditions. This is intended to ensure consistent performance during repeated track laps, driving in snow, or in desert conditions.
Expectations and Pricing
For now, this is all the information Mercedes is ready to share. New details, including clearer images of the final design and confirmed powertrain options, are expected in the coming weeks. As for pricing, pleasant surprises are unlikely. The current model with an internal combustion engine costs from $102,000 to $200,500, and the new electric version will almost certainly exceed this range.
The development of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door demonstrates how manufacturers are trying to adapt the traditional values of high-performance cars—such as emotional feedback, driving precision, and customizability—to the era of electric propulsion. The emphasis on systems that mimic the behavior of ICE cars and on complex dynamics indicates a desire to preserve the “soul” of the AMG brand. The success of this model could become an important precedent for future high-performance electric vehicles, showing whether they can meet the demands of the most discerning enthusiasts. The battery cooling and suspension technologies also indicate that engineers are taking serious steps to overcome the traditional limitations of EVs on the track.
