The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix wasn’t just about Formula 1 – it became the perfect stage for Mercedes-AMG to tease its upcoming all-electric hyper sedan. Caught cruising the Strip with dramatically reduced camouflage, the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door EV gave us the clearest view yet of the production car that will replace the current V8-powered GT 4-Door Coupé.
Exterior Design: From Vision AMG Concept to Reality
The heavily wrapped prototype still wears a psychedelic multicolored disguise, but almost all of the black camouflage tape has been removed. Key styling highlights now visible include:
- Starry “Stardust” LED headlights identical to the 2022 Vision AMG concept
- Fully closed panoramic grille with illuminated AMG badge
- Vertical air curtains integrated into the front bumper corners
- Aggressive lower front splitter for improved aerodynamics
- Sharply raked windshield flowing into a fastback roofline
- Aerodynamically optimized bodywork with smooth, sculpted surfaces
- Flush door handles for reduced drag
- Production-ready rear bumper and diffuser (taillights still hidden)
The overall silhouette remains remarkably faithful to the jaw-dropping Vision AMG show car revealed in 2022, confirming that Mercedes-AMG is delivering one of the most striking production designs in years.
Interior: High-Tech Cockpit Preview
Only small sections of the cabin were visible, but previous spy shots and the Las Vegas car confirm the GT 4-Door EV will feature:
- Flat-bottom AMG Performance steering wheel
- Large freestanding curved OLED display spanning dashboard
- Minimal physical buttons and a clean, driver-focused layout
Expect the final interior to borrow heavily from the latest EQ models while adding unique AMG touches and premium materials.
Powertrain & Performance: Built on the AMG.EA Platform
Mercedes-AMG has confirmed the electric GT 4-Door will be the first model on the dedicated AMG.EA architecture – a ground-up EV platform described as a “technological trailblazer.” Highlights include:
- Advanced mix of aluminum, high-strength steel, and carbon-fiber composites for low weight and extreme rigidity
- Next-generation high-voltage battery pack with 800-volt architecture
- Up to three axial-flux electric motors developed with British firm YASA (a Mercedes subsidiary)
- Vision AMG concept output: over 1,341 hp (1,000 kW) – production version expected slightly detuned but still north of 1,000 hp
- 0-60 mph likely under 3 seconds, with top speed exceeding 200 mph
A high-performance electric crossover built on the same platform is also in development.
Launch Timeline
While Mercedes-AMG hasn’t announced an exact reveal date, the drastically reduced camouflage suggests an official debut could happen in late 2025 or early 2026, with customer deliveries starting in 2026 as a 2026 or 2027 model year vehicle.
Final Thoughts
The near-production Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door EV spotted at the Las Vegas GP proves that the breathtaking Vision AMG concept wasn’t just a flight of fancy – it’s becoming reality. With over 1,000 horsepower, cutting-edge axial-flux motors, and stunning design, the new AMG electric super sedan is shaping up to be a true Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Lucid Air Sapphire rival.
Stay tuned – the electric performance era from Affalterbach is about to begin.
