Mercedes-AMG has announced the 2027 GT 63 four-door coupe, an all-electric high-performance hypercar designed for the global market [1], [2].
This launch represents a strategic shift for the performance division of Mercedes-Benz. By establishing new benchmarks for power and speed, the company aims to bring its performance heritage to electric vehicles and address previous criticisms regarding its EQ model lineup [3], [4].
The vehicle is powered by three axial-flux motors [5]. This configuration allows the hypercar to reach a 0-60 mph acceleration time of two seconds [2].
Reports on the vehicle's total power output vary slightly. Some sources state the car produces 1,153 electric horsepower [3], while others describe the output as nearly 1,200 hp [1].
Mark Ewing said, "The upcoming 2027 Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 4‑door coupé is an electric ultra high‑performance hypercar with 1,153 electric horsepower" [2].
The 2027 model is intended to be sold through Mercedes-AMG's worldwide sales network [2], [5]. It serves as a flagship for the brand's transition toward fully electric luxury sedans that do not sacrifice the raw power associated with the AMG name [3], [4].
“The 2027 GT 63 four-door coupe is an all-electric high-performance hypercar.”
The introduction of the GT 63 marks a pivot for Mercedes-AMG, moving from internal combustion dominance to electric hyper-performance. By utilizing axial-flux motors to achieve acceleration and horsepower figures that rival or exceed traditional supercars, the company is attempting to redefine the 'AMG' identity for a zero-emission era and regain prestige among enthusiasts who found earlier electric luxury models underpowered.
