debuted the all-electric future of the four-door AMG GT<\/a>, bringing along both the 63 and 55 models. It\u2019s now time for the encore, where the automaker has a less powerful, but more affordable offering in the lineup: the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT53 4-Door. It\u2019s just as electric and just as audaciously styled, but with a price tag skewing closer to the \u201cyou mere mortals\u201d side of $100,000.<\/p>\n ![\"\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTkyMCAxMDgwIiB3aWR0aD0iMTkyMCIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDgwIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"\/)
<\/p>\n
At the top end, the Mercedes-AMG GT63 offers up 1,153 horsepower \u2014 if you can absorb the $200K-plus financial hit for a fully-specced out version. The GT53, for its part, packs just under half that amount of grunt. That\u2019s still a fairly meaty output, though, with 536 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque (at peak delivery) from the two permanently excited synchronous motors. With a motor on each axle, you still get all-wheel drive capability, a 0-60 time in the 3.8-second range from a standstill, and a top speed of 143 mph.<\/p>\n
Like its more powerful siblings, the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT53 EV utilizes an 800-volt electrical architecture, with the same 106-kWh battery pack. Assuming you can find a charging station capable of delivering 600 kW\u2019s worth of juice, the AMG53 is set up to replenish the battery from 10-80% state-of-charge in 11 minutes, according to Mercedes\u2019 official specs. As for actual driving range, the automaker says this model is capable of 332 miles of range, though that is using the European WLTP standard. Translated to EPA figures we use in the U.S., that may shake out to about 280-290 miles on a charge. <\/p>\n
Inside, the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT53 looks more or less the same as its more powerful counterparts. <\/p>\n
From the steering wheel to the three available screens as part of the automaker\u2019s Superscreen configuration to the driver-canted switches on the center stack, you aren\u2019t losing much in terms of overall feel from the more expensive versions.<\/p>\n
You aren\u2019t losing anything in terms of the car mimicking a gasoline-powered AMG GT, either. Unlike the old AMG53, this obviously doesn\u2019t pack a turbocharged inline-six under the hood. However, it still plays back the sound of that six-pot engine, captured by 16 microphones recording the real McCoy, for your \u201cemotional\u201d experience (Mercedes\u2019 words). You can turn that system on and off with a button press, while you also get the usual range of drive modes that open up driving characteristics ranging from \u201ccomfortable and efficient to dynamic and highly emotional.\u201d Mercedes really seems to be banking on that whole emotional thing, as tough a sell as that is to V8-loving enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
Even as some manufacturers back off a hard-charging EV approach, Mercedes is still at it with this latest range of four-door AMG GTs. There are some folks you just aren\u2019t going to move on the whole electric issue right now, of course, though those who are more amenable to the idea may jump at a version that will be significantly less expensive than the more extreme AMGs. While we don\u2019t have the exact number yet (we should get that closer to the launch in early 2027), this one will certainly have a more appealing price tag, if you are also open to the more dramatic look. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Images: Mercedes-Benz) A more affordable version of the new four-door Mercedes-AMG GT joins the 55 and 63 variants.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20951],"tags":[50926,50927,50928,50929,50930,50931,50932,41021,50933,34291,50934,50935,50936,50937,50938,3622,50939],"class_list":["post-68131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mercedes-benz","tag-2027-amg-gt53","tag-2027-car-news","tag-2027-mercedes","tag-amg-ev-specs","tag-amg-gt53-ev","tag-amg-gt53-horsepower","tag-amg-gt53-news","tag-amg-performance","tag-electric-mercedes","tag-electric-sports-car","tag-gt53-review","tag-luxury-electric-car","tag-mercedes-amg-electric","tag-mercedes-amg-gt53","tag-mercedes-electric-car","tag-mercedes-benz","tag-new-mercedes-ev"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
