This video breaks down how AMG balanced 186 miles per hour cruising with ultra-fast charging averaging 850 kilowatts, why engineers chose that target speed, and how repeated high-load runs and high-speed charging cycles stress-tested the battery, inverters, and axial-flux motors. We unpack the 800 volt AMG.EA platform with three axial-flux motors in two electric drive units, liquid-cooled battery architecture, and concept output above 1,360 horsepower. You will also see how the crew coordinated driver swaps, safety coverage, and service windows to keep the cars moving for nearly 8 days, plus where this effort sits versus benchmarks like the Lucid Air and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. If you love endurance racing energy with next-gen electric tech, you are in the right place.

New AMG.EA high performance architecture
The Mercedes AMG GT XX just landed in Tokyo with outrageous power, axial flux motors, and testing that peaks past one megawatt charging. This is not a design exercise—it is a statement about how electric performance will feel next.
In this video we get a close look at the three motor layout, the AMG specific battery cooling, the aero details, and the cockpit. We talk real world implications of 1,340 horsepower, the promise of ultra high rate charging, and why this concept reads like a near future production play. If you care about electric grand touring, track capability, and fast charging that shrinks downtime, this is the one to watch.

The CONCEPT AMG GT XX impresses with a peak output of over 1,000 kW, equivalent to more than 1,360 hp. This power is achieved by three innovative motors integrated into High Performance Electric Drive Units (HP.EDU) on the front and rear axles. The rear axle features two oil-cooled axial-flux motors, each housed in a compact housing with a compact transmission and an inverter. The front electric drive acts as a ""booster motor"" and is only activated when needed to provide additional power or traction. Axial-flux motors offer enormous advantages over conventional electric motors: They are significantly more powerful, yet lighter and more compact. Their power density is around three times higher, while the motors weigh less and require only a third of the installation space. The units offer higher continuous power and higher torque. This enables top-level driving performance that can be repeated very frequently in succession. The basis for these groundbreaking engines was originally developed by the English electric motor specialist YASA – a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG. However, it was Mercedes-AMG, together with YASA, that first took this concept to a completely new level of performance for series use in AMG.EA vehicles.

- Thanks ICE, you have served us well, sad to see you go! The future, more performance (Dramatically) much more simplicity and reliability, greener, cheaper! What a huge step forward- This run was only ~137mph average. Mercedes did ~154mph average for ~31,000mi (50,000km) in a near-production four cylinder 190e back in 1983. 41 years later and 17mph slower...
- bahahaha.... It's cute how the argument has changed over the years... Listen I've owned several of the best V8s out there.. These new EVs like the Taycan and Etron GT and soon to be AMG GT XX are next level and finally a step up in technology and performance. V8s aren't going to get this much research and development in them anymore.
