Mercedes-Benz’s performance division hasn’t had great luck straying from the tried-and-true V-8 formula. Its turbo-hybrid four-cylinder C63, while technically brilliant, was largely panned for its weight and lack of emotion. It’s currently selling like whatever the opposite of hotcakes is, and even AMG CEO Michael Schiebe admitted the company “could have better explained” the car’s powertrain to customers.
That said, AMG isn’t taking any more half measures when it comes to electrification. On Wednesday, it unveiled the GT XX Concept, a 1,340-horsepower, 223-mph (360 kph) super sedan that previews AMG’s first production EV, which is to be revealed next year. If AMG can back up its bold promises, this car should bring a serious fight to the Lucid Air Sapphire and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, along with a healthy dose of AMG theater.
