• Mercedes-AMG F1 development driver DORIANE PIN demonstrated the electric GT 4-Door Coupe’s performance capabilities, engaging Sport+ mode to showcase synthesized V8 sounds and simulated gear shifts reminiscent of traditional combustion AMGs.
• The tri-motor EV features lightweight Yasa axial flux motors—same tech used by Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1—potentially delivering 1,341 hp to rival Porsche’s 1,034-hp Taycan and Xiaomi’s 1,526-hp SU7 Ultra.
• PIN’s test run revealed the AMG.EA platform’s rear-wheel-drive capability through donut demonstrations, proving the electric GT can replicate traditional V8 driving dynamics while offering significant tax advantages in EV-friendly markets.
