The AMG GT XX Is a 1,360-Horsepower Dream

The AMG GT XX concept is a pixelated pulse from the future, shredding every known rule about speed, design, and charging.

A four-door liftback that looks more like the nose of a jet than a car, it draws its power from a trio of electric motors delivering a total output of more than 1 megawatt—in other words, 1,360 horsepower.

Its battery system is an 800-volt hallucination with a ferocious 850-kilowatt charging rate. In practice, that means five minutes is all it takes to gain 400 kilometers of range.

And that’s just the beginning. The AMG GT XX is the result of a full-family Mercedes-Benz collaboration, from the engineers in Sindelfingen to the Formula One fixers in Brackley and Brixworth, who usually tinker with Russell’s F1 machine. YASA’s electric motor specialists are also onboard, bringing their lightning-fast axial motors—until now, the preserve of Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

The car itself is a giant: over five meters long, more than two meters wide, yet only 131 centimeters tall. You don’t sit in it like a driver. You strap in like a fighter pilot. It tops 360 kilometers per hour, a speed at which even your thoughts struggle to keep pace.

Its design belongs in orbit. Smooth lines, an orange body, and wheel covers that only open when the brakes heat up. There’s even a cooling plate under the chassis. Its drag coefficient is a mere 0.198—lower than anything except the wind itself.

Inside awaits a sci-fi cockpit: a single sweeping screen that fuses the instrument cluster and central console, and a steering wheel that resembles a shuttle control stick more than anything from Earth. The seats feature a carbon-fiber skeleton wrapped in padding molded to your body, just like in Le Mans racers. Leather and silk? Entirely synthetic here, made from recycled tires and genetically modified bacteria.

There’s no firm word on production, but here’s a clue: in 2026, a factory near Berlin in Marienfelde will start building the kind of electronic muscle that powers this beast. So get ready. The AMG GT XX—or something alarmingly close—is headed for our roads.
