Mercedes-AMG Unveils Its Fastest EV Supercar Concept

Mercedes-AMG is gearing up to redefine performance with an all-new electric supercar concept. Expected to be unveiled later this year, the prototype is set to lead the brand’s electrification push and could become the fastest-accelerating AMG ever built.

A New Era of Performance for AMG

The concept will showcase a cutting-edge electric powertrain, developed with groundbreaking technology from Yasa, a British company acquired by Mercedes in 2021. The key to its blistering acceleration lies in an advanced axial-flux electric motor, known for its exceptional power density and efficiency. Additionally, the supercar is expected to feature a next-generation battery system, which could incorporate solid-state technology. Mercedes’ High Performance Powertrain division—responsible for the brand’s dominant Formula 1 hybrid systems—is playing a crucial role in developing this cutting-edge energy storage unit.

While full performance specs remain under wraps, the promise of the “fastest-accelerating AMG ever” suggests that the supercar will outshine all previous models, including the legendary AMG One. That hypercar, powered by a hybrid-assisted 1.6-liter V6 derived from F1 technology, boasts over 1,000 horsepower and rockets from 0 to 62 mph in under three seconds. If the upcoming EV supercar surpasses that benchmark, it would represent a seismic shift in AMG’s performance lineup.

Part of a Larger Mercedes Product Offensive

The AMG supercar concept is just one piece of Mercedes’ ambitious product rollout over the next two years. The German automaker is planning to debut 21 new models, including a revamped CLA sedan, a GLB update, and electric versions of the GLC, C-Class, and E-Class. In a strategic shift, Mercedes is moving away from the EQ branding for its EV lineup, instead integrating electric powertrains under existing model nameplates.

This shift signals Mercedes’ commitment to offering diverse powertrain options under familiar model names, blending traditional combustion engines with hybrid and fully electric versions. The upcoming CLA, for instance, will be available with both a 48-volt electrified four-cylinder engine and a fully electric variant.

Could This Be AMG’s First Mass-Produced Electric Supercar?

While the AMG One set records and turned heads, it was limited to just 275 units and carried an eye-watering $2.7 million price tag. The new AMG EV supercar concept, however, could signal a more accessible—albeit still high-end—supercar that might actually make it to production in greater numbers.

If the concept materializes into a road-going model, it could mark the beginning of a new era for AMG, one where electrification doesn’t just match but exceeds the raw performance of traditional combustion engines. And unlike the AMG One, which never officially made it to U.S. dealerships, Mercedes fans in America might finally get a shot at owning the brand’s most electrifying supercar yet.
