Mercedes-AMG has revealed the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, replacing its V8-powered predecessor with a bespoke electric performance sedan producing up to 860kW. The new flagship is confirmed for Australia, though local timing and pricing are yet to be locked in. Production begins in Germany in mid-2026.

2027 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door power and performance

The range-topping GT63 produces 860kW and 2000Nm from three axial-flux electric motors, with two on the rear axle and one up front. That delivers a 0-100km/h sprint of 2.4 seconds, or 2.1 seconds using the one-foot rollout method. Top speed is 300km/h with the optional Driver's Package.

The GT55 is hardly slow, putting out 600kW and 1800Nm for a 2.8-second 0-100km/h time and a claimed WLTP range of up to 700km.

Both variants ride on the new AMG.EA 800-volt architecture, with a 106kWh battery pack and 600kW DC fast charging. Mercedes-AMG claims a 10 to 80 per cent top-up in just 11 minutes, adding more than 460km of range.

Simulated V8 sound and gear shifts

To win over fans of the old twin-turbo V8, AMG has fitted a synthesised soundtrack drawing on 1600 audio files modelled on the GT R's 4.0-litre engine. The system also simulates physical gear changes, similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.

Inside the cabin, drivers face a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 14-inch central touchscreen, while the front passenger gets their own 14-inch display. Paddles on the steering wheel deliver a temporary 110kW boost in the GT63 and 50kW in the GT55.

Carbon-ceramic brakes feature up front, with steel rotors at the rear. Active aerodynamics, rear-wheel steering and adjustable air suspension all come along for the ride.

Mercedes-Benz Australia has confirmed the new GT 4-Door Coupe will arrive locally, though timing has not been announced. The outgoing GT63 S E Performance was priced from $409,600 before on-road costs, so expect the new model to sit in similar territory.

For buyers chasing a V8 swansong, the writing is on the wall. AMG's future flagships will be electric, fast and very loud, even if the noise is computer-generated.
