GT 4-Door Coupé (X290) 2026 AMG GT 4-Door Vision EV

[Merc1]

Do you like my smirk, my scowl?

I wear many faces.

I can't wait to meet Porsche, Lucid and Audi on the track. Where has the Model S gone?

Cue the afterburners.

Lightbar be gone.

I am ready!

I am going insane.

That front is somehow growing on me. The one without the light bar.

Yes. I am officially a fan and in like of this car now. It is just the dramatic statement AMG needed IMO.

I guess they'll have more success with a dramatic looking EV than a boring looking one, so yeah.

But really we have got to stop agreeing. That's no fun.

Nah, the difference would be meaningless in real life. Watch the upcoming EV version of the new E class drive further than this, while being boxier and more spacious.

Still think the OG CLS remains the perfect mix of traditional 3 box sedan and coupe. It simply hits a sweet spot not seen since. Same counts for the OG BMW X6. This new AMG is just over the top for me personally, but at least proportion wise it's an improvement over the ICE AMG 4 door, which looks like a beached whale. This EV looks smooth like the Taycan.

Late here
The new EV C-Class and this AMG GT are equally matched in drag coefficient, 0.22.
The electric C is shaped like a coupe, though. I was going to bring up the CLS in this discussion as well. AMG would throw out the idea of a revived CLS of some sort. There is just no way AMG would create a traditional 3-box sedan, or coupe sedan for that matter, as their top dog performance car. The GT has a liftback advantage; the CLS does not.

The previous version might look like a fat beach whale, but I see quite a few of them running around my two-state area. They definitely outnumber anything from Porsche or the BMW 8-Series GC. I am wondering what these owners think of an all-electric GT with no ICE version available. Mercedes might have gambled on yet another good formula. Performance EV sales seemed to have soften quite a bit from Porsche, and some automakers have dropped the idea of a performance EV altogether. Word is out that the European Commission has significantly softened its original 2035 phase-out of ICE engines.
I think AMG should have gone with the V8. Mercedes should know, never mess with a successful formula.

I’m thinking the upcoming E63 will cover those buyers. Tho a V8 in this new GT would be a killer.

Flattering footage.

 

[MAJESTIC]

This black one looks amazing! I absolutely love this car now. The interior could be so much better, but the exterior design is so bold and different.

It’s like the emperor’s new clothes told backwards.

In my opinion this car doesnt look its best in black. In blues, greens, reds, some browns and kalahari gold it looks great and its okish in the canary yellow launch colour. Certainly a car that stands out from the crowd. It looks different to every single car in that video, nothing looks this dramatic.

I love the shape of it.
Looks sculpted and intentional. If future Mercedes EVs are shaped like this, then they'd be brilliant.

I agree. Even though it hides a lot of design kinks, regular black is not all that flattering to this model.

I imagine matte paints would look better.

 

[Merc1]

Agree with the comments. I think they should have used a different launch color tho. Yellow was too jarring but then again that seems to be what they wanted.
