Mercedes-AMG Tests 1000HP Super-SUV Ahead UK 2027 Launch

Mercedes-AMG is intensifying testing for its independently developed electric GT SUV, set to debut with over 1000bhp and advanced 800V electrical systems by 2027, featuring cutting-edge axial-flux electric motors developed by Yasa. This super-SUV, built on the AMG.EA platform, emphasizes road performance with features like variable ride height for off-road capability and a bold design incorporating a new Panamericana grille. Meanwhile, Mercedes-AMG has also developed a high-performance hybrid engine inspired by Formula One technology, delivering around 1049 horsepower and revving beyond 11,000 RPM, as seen in the AMG ONE hypercar, highlighting AMG's engineering prowess in adapting racing tech for road cars. Ferrari, traditionally cautious about electric vehicles, is preparing to enter the EV market with its first fully electric model, the Electricca, by 2025 while continuing to innovate with hybrid powertrains like the 868 HP engine in its new 296 Speciale. Porsche’s Taycan Turbo GT exemplifies high-performance electric vehicles with its near-1100bhp output and precise power delivery, offering a seamless and thrilling driving experience comparable to hypercars. Together, these developments underscore a shift in the automotive industry towards electrification and hybridization, blending traditional performance with cutting-edge electric technologies.
