AMG's 1,300+ HP EV SUV Rumor
AMG is reportedly developing its first fully proprietary electric SUV for 2027, and early specs whisper a triple‑motor, rear‑biased setup targeting north of 1,300 horsepower — AMG’s answer to high‑power EV rivals (topgir.com.ua).
The SUV will be built on AMG’s dedicated AMG.EA electric architecture developed for high‑performance Mercedes‑AMG models. (autocar.co.uk) Sources identify YASA as the supplier of axial‑flux electric motors for the project, with each motor reportedly capable of about 480 bhp and 590 lb‑ft of torque. (autocar.co.uk) Independent reporting cites a roughly 100 kWh battery pack and an 800‑volt electrical layout under consideration for the powertrain. (carmagazine.co.uk) Autoblog and other outlets have reported a platform charging target described as “hyper‑fast” at about 850 kW for rapid replenishment. (autoblog.com) Photographers and outlets first caught prototype units on public roads in February 2026, and production is expected to be handled from Mercedes’ Sindelfingen facility. (autoevolution.com) Engineering hardware reported for the vehicle includes Active Ride Control with a hydraulic pump for each wheel alongside the 800‑volt electronics architecture. (autocarindia.com) AMG leadership has described the electric program as a multi‑model plan that pairs this SUV with a four‑door GT replacement and a coupe‑style AMG SUV within the same lineup. (whichcar.com.au) Autocar and other outlets say AMG is benchmarking flagship performance SUVs such as the Lotus Eletre R and aiming direct competition with high‑performance offerings from Porsche and BMW.
