This bespoke platform will support the dramatic proportions we can already see, so too the 21-inch wheels and sophisticated chassis technology that we expect will also be in use. Using the AMG Vision Concept as reference we also have some idea about the new car’s detailing, such as the vertical strakes on the nose and Merc’s new three-pointed motif within the headlights.
Mercedes-AMG EV teasers
Official teaser images of Mercedes-AMG’s new all-electric super saloon and Porsche Taycan rival have also already been released showing the performance brand’s first bespoke EV undergoing testing near the Arctic Circle in typical AMG style: sideways.
Under the skin, we expect to see a combination of a flat battery pack and a dual-motor layout with up to 1,000bhp. It’ll need that much power to go up against Porsche’s super-high powered Taycan Turbo GT, which produces 1,093bhp and is capable of 0-62mph in 2.2 seconds.
Expect plenty of high-end chassis hardware, too, including elements like rear-wheel steering and other innovative suspension tech like active roll control, or potentially even a fully-active system as you’ll find on the latest Taycan.
All this new content won’t come cheap, though. Merc’s flagship EV will most likely rival only the highest spec versions of the Taycan and its twin, the Audi e-tron GT. This should see pricing start well over six figures. Such is the price of progress, especially when there’s an AMG badge affixed to the bootlid.
AMG says the new model and its platform are “still at the beginning of a demanding and comprehensive test plan, which will span multiple proving grounds, continents and climate zones”. Meaning we should start to learn more about it in the coming 12 months, with Mercedes already confirming a market introduction in 2025.
