Mercedes-AMG has launched the GT 63 4Matic+, an electric four-door coupe priced around £160,000. The model uses three motors and is built on the AMG.EA platform with an 800-volt architecture.
Why it matters
The launch extends Mercedes-AMG's electric performance lineup into a high-output four-door segment. The model's peak power, charging rate and claimed range set benchmarks for the performance electric vehicle category.
The GT 63 4Matic+ delivers up to 1169bhp and 1475lb ft in 63-second bursts and hits 62mph in a claimed 2.4 seconds. Its 106kWh battery is rated for 600kW peak charging, adding 286 miles in ten minutes, though the GT 55 4Matic+ acceleration remains unconfirmed.
The players
Mercedes-AMG
Mercedes-AMG is the high-performance division of Mercedes-Benz, known for its performance-oriented road and track vehicles.
Yasa
Yasa is an Oxford-based motor manufacturer whose axial-flux electric motor technology is used in the GT 63.
The details
Built on the AMG.EA platform with an 800-volt architecture, the GT 63 uses three motors with axial-flux construction developed with Yasa. Top speed is limited to 186mph with the optional Driver's Package or 155mph as standard.
Timeline

Early 2027: A GT SUV is expected to launch, followed by a GT SUV Coupe.
Roadmap
The GT 63 4Matic+ is built on the AMG.EA platform, Mercedes-AMG's dedicated electric architecture, extending it into four-door performance coupes. The model positions Mercedes-AMG against rival high-performance electric sedans as the industry shifts toward electrified performance models.
At around £160,000, the GT 63 4Matic+ is positioned as a premium performance purchase rather than a mainstream EV. Its claimed range of 370 to 432 miles on a single charge and 600kW peak charging speed would reduce charging stops on long journeys.
The takeaway
Electric performance is moving beyond two-door sports cars into family-sized vehicles, and the GT 63 shows how far output and charging speed have advanced. Buyers weighing premium EVs should compare claimed range and charging figures against real-world results.
What happens next
A GT SUV is expected to launch early next year, followed by a GT SUV Coupe.
