- Mercedes is about to unveil a new performance model, rumored to be called AMG GT XX.
- The exterior design has been shown in official teasers and leaked photos ahead of its debut.
- Highlights include circular taillights, pixel LED panels, and a large illuminated grille up front.
A new Mercedes-AMG is coming, and while it remains shrouded in mystery, photos of it have been leaked online, following the official teasers. Painted in a bright shade of orange, it appears to be the long-awaited electric sedan, set to rival the Porsche Taycan and the Audi e-tron GT.
The automaker first teased this new model earlier in the month, releasing an image of the hood and the roof, revealing similarities between it and the Vision One-Eleven concept from back in 2023, including the bright orange paint scheme.

In April, a different teaser was released, showing the silhouette of a car painted orange, indicating it will be a four-door, lending credence to the earlier rumors about a performance-focused rival to the Porsche Taycan. One of these new teasers appears to show a front quarter panel of the car, where we can see a large AMG badge sitting atop a black piece of trim. The shadow of a wing mirror is also visible.
Then there’s the second teaser, which is much more revealing. It previews the rear of the car and confirms the absence of a rear window, just like a Polestar 4. We can also see the circular LED taillights, seemingly inspired by the lights of the radical Mercedes Vision AMG Concept from a few years ago. Positioned in the center of the rear fascia is an array of pixel LEDs similar to a Hyundai Ioniq 5, which might be configurable to display custom messages.
The interior sports a yoke-shaped steering wheel and a digital cockpit that appears to be different from other production Mercedes-AMG models. We can also see orange ambient lighting and straps instead of door handles.
AMG hasn’t said when it will unveil this car, only stating that “something is stirring in the Mercedes-AMG garage.” It adds that “a new dimension is about to unfold.”
The production model is expected to be underpinned by the AMG.EV architecture, which includes an 800-volt system. Thanks to the trick axial flux electric motors, it could deliver over 1,000 hp, posing as the fully electric equivalent of the AMG GT 4-Door.
