Mercedes-Benz Unveils Secret Plan To Spike EV Sales

Mercedes-Benz USA has revealed plans to boost electric vehicle (EV) sales by introducing the "CONCEPT AMG GT XX," a high-performance four-door electric sports car developed by its Mercedes-AMG division. Central to this concept is the use of three innovative axial flux electric motors, which are significantly more compact, lighter, and powerful than traditional radial flux motors. These motors offer about three times the power density while being two-thirds lighter and one-third the size, allowing for greater flexibility in drivetrain design. Mercedes-AMG plans to begin series production of these motors in 2026. The CONCEPT AMG GT XX targets the luxury high-performance EV market, boasting over 1,341 horsepower and a top speed exceeding 223 mph, emphasizing continuous high output enabled by a newly developed high-performance battery. While this vehicle is unlikely to appeal to everyday drivers due to its extreme capabilities and price, it serves as a technology showcase that could influence future Mercedes-Benz EV models aimed at broader market segments.
