The year was 2013 when Mercedes took its first (albeit shy)<\/em> step toward performance EVs by introducing the SLS AMG Electric Drive. However, only nine cars were ever sold to customers, therefore making it even rarer than the Audi R8 E-Tron of which fewer than 100 examples were built. Fast forward a decade later, the peeps from Affalterbach still don’t have a full-fat AMG EV as the EQE 53 and EQS 53 are not considered bespoke AMGs.<\/p>\n

However, we’ve known about the dedicated AMG.EA platform for a while now, with Mercedes previewing the architecture last year with a swoopy four-door concept. Earlier this week, our spy photographers caught a prototype undergoing testing for the first time, ahead of a 2025 market launch. While the three-pointed star remains tight-lipped about the specifications, Autocar <\/em>has it on good authority the first EV developed from the ground up by AMG will have ludicrous power.<\/p>\n

Yasa, a UK-based manufacturer of electric motors acquired by Mercedes in 2021, told the British car magazine that AMG will use an electric motor weighing just 53 pounds while producing a massive 480 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. With one motor driving the front wheels and another one at the rear, the high-performance electric sedan could have close to 1,000 hp.<\/p>\n

That would be nearly as much as the 1,049-hp AMG One hypercar with its F1-derived turbocharged 1.6-liter V6 gasoline engine and four electric motors.\u00a0As far as torque is concerned, it could hit a colossal 1,000 pound-feet, which would be delivered instantly as in every other EV out there. That would translate to supercar levels of acceleration in a large and heavy sedan.<\/p>\n

The Vision AMG concept pictured below had Yasa’s Axial Flux Motor in a speedy EV that measured a stately 200.8 inches long and had a 118-inch wheelbase. It was slightly bigger than the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe on sale today, which has already been electrified with a plug-in hybrid E Performance derivative offering 843 hp and 1,084 lb-ft.<\/p>\n

If you like big numbers, we’ll remind you archrival BMW has said it already has the technology for an EV with 1,341 horsepower. However, the first fully-fledged M car without a combustion engine is unlikely to be this powerful as insiders claim the inevitable electric M3 due around 2027 or 2028 will have roughly 700 hp.<\/p>\n
