The brand has also shared a few details of the coupe, stating that the upcoming Mercedes-AMG 4-Door Coupe is built on the AMG.EA performance platform that introduces a new drive setup. It uses three axial flux motors paired with a direct-cooled battery to deliver strong and consistent power. Earlier this year, the ConceptAMG GT XX demonstrated the potential of this technology with a notable run in Nardo, Italy. The production version of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe will carry forward these same drivetrain innovations.
