Mercedes-AMG revealed the GT 53 4-door on 6 August, the long-range entry to the electric GT family it opened with the tri-motor GT 55 and GT 63 in May. It completes rather than duplicates that coverage: the GT 53 trades power for range, and the way it gets there is the actual story.
The clutch is the news. A dual-motor EV normally drags its idle motor along even when it is doing no work, which costs range. The GT 53 avoids that by mechanically decoupling its front motor under light load, running on the rear motor alone until torque demand calls the front one back in. AMG claims up to 503 miles (809 km) on the WLTP cycle from that arrangement - the longest range in the GT 4-door family, ahead of both higher-power variants.
The rest of the spec. Two motors produce 536 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) combined, with all-wheel drive and a 106 kWh battery on AMG’s dedicated AMG.EA platform, separate from the standard EQ architecture. The 800V system supports 600 kW peak DC charging, 10-80% in about 11 minutes. AMG quotes 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
Price and status. The GT 53 starts at EUR 115,430. AMG says the range and performance figures are preliminary and not yet homologated, a distinction worth keeping in mind before the number gets repeated as final. It joins the 816 hp GT 55 and 1,169 hp GT 63 on the same page in our model coverage; sales for the family begin before the end of 2026.
