Roadmap
The GT 4-Door Coupé is the first AMG model built on the AMG.EA electric platform, extending the architecture from Mercedes-AMG's earlier electric models into a four-door performance sedan. It signals the brand's move from hybrid-era performance cars toward fully electric high-output vehicles.
Buyers in Germany can now order the GT 4-Door Coupé at prices from €115,430 to €196,350 including VAT. U.S. and UAE buyers have no confirmed pricing yet, so shoppers there should wait for official announcements before budgeting.
The takeaway
Performance buyers weighing an electric purchase should compare the GT 4-Door Coupé's 1,169 hp output and 809 km claimed range against their own driving needs. Waiting for regional pricing may be wise for buyers outside Germany.
