Mercedes-AMG is going fully electric, and it is doing it in a big way. The AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, revealed in Los Angeles in May 2026, packs up to 1,169 horsepower, and on 17 October the brand added a high-riding sibling, the AMG GT SUV, with up to 1,153hp and some of the fastest charging figures ever claimed. Here is a simple guide to both cars, the prices announced so far, and what it all means for UAE buyers.
Quick Highlights
- AMG GT 4-Door Coupé: up to 860 kW (1,169hp), 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds, up to 809 km claimed range
- AMG GT SUV: up to 1,153hp, 710 kW peak charging, 10 to 80% in 12 minutes
- Both are built on AMG’s own electric platform, AMG.EA
- German prices for the 4-Door: about AED 472,700 to AED 804,000 (US$128,700 to US$218,900)
- No UAE pricing or dates have been announced for either car
The AMG GT 4-Door Coupé
The electric GT 4-Door Coupé is the first AMG developed entirely in-house for an electric platform. It was revealed in Los Angeles on the 6th Street Bridge, with actor Brad Pitt and Mercedes F1 driver George Russell stepping out of the car. Sales opened in Germany in August 2026.
| Model | Power | Max WLTP range | Key figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| GT 63 4MATIC+ | 860 kW (1,169hp) | 696 km | 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 s |
| GT 55 4MATIC+ | 600 kW (816hp) | 700 km | 0 to 200 km/h in 8.7 s |
| GT 53 4MATIC+ | 400 kW (544hp) | 809 km | 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 s |
The GT 55 and GT 63 use three axial-flux motors, and the GT 53 uses two. The 1,169hp peak is available only with launch control and a battery at 80% charge, and the 300 km/h top speed needs an optional package. All range and charging figures are Mercedes’ preliminary claims based on European testing.
The New AMG GT SUV
Mercedes unveiled the AMG GT SUV on 17 October at its 140 Festival. It is the first full-size SUV developed entirely in-house by AMG and the second model on the AMG.EA architecture. Compared with the 4-Door, it has a bigger 128 kWh battery in the two top versions, higher peak charging power and uprated suspension.
| Model | Peak power | 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) | Claimed WLTP range |
|---|---|---|---|
| GT 63 | 1,153hp | 2.6 s | 620 to 700 km |
| GT 55 | 805hp | 3.0 s | 620 to 700 km |
| GT 53 | 536hp | 4.1 s | About 597 to 668 km |
The SUV’s headline trick is charging. At a peak of 710 kW, Mercedes claims the GT 55 and GT 63 can add 48 kWh in five minutes and go from 10 to 80% in 12 minutes. The 4-Door’s claimed 11 minutes remains slightly shorter because its battery is smaller. Other features include six-degree rear-wheel steering and a new active suspension that controls pitch (nose-dive and lift) as well as roll. In the US, the GT SUV is due in summer 2027, and the price has not been announced.
Keeping the AMG Character
- Simulated gear shifts and seat vibrations, with a recorded V8 sound on the top models and a six-cylinder sound on the GT 53
- Three rotary controls on the centre console to adjust throttle response, handling and traction
- Predictive track software that allocates power around a circuit
- A 14-inch central screen, a 10.2-inch driver display and an optional 14-inch passenger screen
What Do They Cost?
Mercedes has announced German prices only for the 4-Door: from €115,430 for the GT 53 to €196,350 for the GT 63, including German VAT. At about 1.115 dollars per euro, that is roughly AED 472,700 (US$128,700) to AED 804,000 (US$218,900). These are not UAE prices, because taxes, duties and equipment all change the final figure. No pricing has been announced for the GT SUV.
Regional Unveiling in Abu Dhabi
According to the event announcement, Mercedes-Benz is presenting the electric AMG GT 4-Door to the region at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi on 13 November. This is a regional unveiling, since the car’s world premiere was in Los Angeles in May. We will update this article if UAE pricing and delivery dates are announced.
What UAE Buyers Should Know
- No local pricing yet. Mercedes-Benz Abu Dhabi lists the GT SUV as “available soon”, but no UAE price or date has been published.
- Charging matters. The fastest claims need chargers of 600 kW or more, so check which fast chargers you can actually use.
- Heat. Claimed ranges come from European testing, and real-world range in a UAE summer will be lower.
Final Thoughts
The electric GT family shows that AMG wants to prove electric performance can be both extreme and emotional. The big questions are UAE pricing and whether buyers will swap a V8 for a very fast battery. Which would you choose, the GT 4-Door or the GT SUV? Tell us in the comments.
