Just days after Mercedes-AMG wowed audiences with the reveal of the AMG GT XX concept, the future of high-performance electric mobility is already taking shape in the real world. Spy videographers have captured a camouflaged prototype—believed to be the production version of AMG’s upcoming all-electric four-door supercar—silently prowling the Alpine roads in Europe.

Despite the heavy patterned wrap disguising its finer details, the prototype clearly shares its silhouette with the GT XX concept. The familiar fastback profile and aggressive stance make an immediate impression, while telltale elements like the bold grille and circular taillight motifs peek through the disguise. Notably, the headlights appear to have undergone a revision for production, now featuring a tri-star signature pattern reminiscent of Mercedes’ iconic logo.

But this isn’t your typical whisper-quiet EV. Even though the car hasn’t been seen pushing its limits on corners or straightaways, one unexpected element stood out to those nearby: sound. Unlike most electric vehicles, this AMG GT emits a synthetic but engine-like hum while idling—an aural cue that was teased during the concept’s unveiling and designed to add emotion to the driving experience. While this prototype’s soundtrack doesn’t mimic a classic V8 growl, insiders suggest it’s still a work in progress.

Under the skin, performance expectations remain sky-high. The GT XX concept boasts a staggering 1,340 horsepower delivered via three axial-flux electric motors—two at the rear axle and one at the front. This tri-motor setup, paired with an advanced 800-volt electrical system and direct-cooled cylindrical battery cells, promises blistering acceleration and fast-charging capability. Although it’s unclear whether the production model will retain the full power output, it’s likely to feature a similar drivetrain architecture.

Set to challenge heavyweights like the Porsche Taycan, the production AMG GT EV is poised to become a formidable contender in the luxury electric performance segment. While official pricing remains under wraps, expect it to enter the market in the six-figure range, with direct competition aimed squarely at Porsche’s $101,395 benchmark.

With a formal debut anticipated later this year, Mercedes-AMG’s electric future is not just conceptual—it’s already in motion.
