Mercedes-AMG GT SUV revealed with up to 1,153 hp

Mercedes-AMG has unveiled its new electric GT SUV in three variants, with the flagship model producing 1,153 horsepower across three electric motors.

Mercedes-AMG has confirmed the GT SUV, an all-electric performance SUV that will arrive in three distinct versions, with the most powerful producing 1,153 horsepower through a three-motor setup.

According to multiple reports, the range will offer buyers a choice of outputs depending on which version they choose, with the top-specification model representing one of the most powerful production SUVs yet announced. Three electric motors distribute power across the car, a configuration that allows very precise control of torque at each wheel.

The GT SUV is aimed squarely at drivers who want the space and raised ride height of an SUV alongside performance figures that would have seemed implausible even in a low-slung sports car a decade ago. The 2026 model year positioning suggests it will go on sale or enter production during that period, though specific UK pricing and availability have not yet been confirmed in the reports.

For everyday drivers, the car represents a signal of where high-performance motoring is heading: electric powertrains are now capable of producing outputs that rival or exceed the most extreme combustion-engined machines. Whether that translates into widespread uptake depends on factors such as charging infrastructure, purchase cost and real-world range, none of which have been detailed in reports so far.
