2027 Mercedes-AMG GLC EV set to deliver 671kW punch
AMG’s cooking up its most extreme electric SUV yet with triple motors and tech from the GT XX prototypeThe News
Mercedes-AMG is developing a flagship version of the incoming GLC EV, tipped to produce around 671kW and become one of the most powerful Mercs ever built.
The Key Details
- Output expected to exceed 671kW
- Triple-motor layout with axial-flux technology
- Shares drivetrain tech with the 999kW AMG GT XX prototype
- Target: 0-100km/h in less than three seconds, 250km/h top speed
- New 800-volt battery with cylindrical cells and direct liquid cooling
The Finer Details
According to a recent report by Autocar, the AMG version will feature a bespoke performance drivetrain derived from the GT XX concept.
Engineers are supposedly fitting three axial-flux motors; almost doubling the output of the regular dual-motor GLC EQ (360kW) and targeting a sub-three-second sprint to 100km/h and a 250km/h v-max.
Sources claim engineers are reworking the battery system for high-performance use, replacing prismatic cells with cylindrical units on an 800-volt platform.
The battery reportedly uses liquid cooling to keep temperatures steady, so it can deliver maximum power repeatedly without overheating. This also allows for ultra-fast charging up to 400kW – a big jump from the standard GLC EQ’s 330kW.
The Road Ahead
The AMG GLC EV’s global reveal is expected take place in 2026, meaning we probably won’t see it Down Under until 2027.
