At the core of the Concept AMG® GT XX’s power lies a meticulously engineered Central Coolant Hub (CCH). It is a system that efficiently manages temperature across multiple components. By combining various cooling elements like pumps, valves, and sensors into one compact housing, the CCH ensures precision cooling while saving space and weight. This system works effortlessly with a direct liquid-cooled high-performance battery and axial flux motors, maintaining peak output even under the most extreme driving or charging conditions. Complementing this is a passive underbody cooling plate, developed by Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains, which enhances energy efficiency and reduces aerodynamic drag by maintaining consistent airflow beneath the vehicle.
Every inch of the Concept AMG® GT XX is sculpted to master airflow. Enhanced by a reimagined AIRPANEL control system with active louvers behind the grille, the design strikes the perfect balance between cooling efficiency and drag reduction. From the low-slung hood and sleek roofline to the rear diffuser and carbon-fiber side blades, each design element contributes to high-speed stability and agile handling. Its newly developed 20-inch aero-carbon wheels further optimize airflow and driving stability, reinforcing the vehicle’s commitment to efficiency and power at speeds exceeding 180 mph.
Charging performance plays a critical role in the Concept AMG® GT XX’s endurance capabilities. During testing, it achieved an astonishing average charging rate of approximately 850 kW, powered by a specially developed Alpitronic High-Power Charging Hub. This prototype system, capable of transmitting up to 1,000 amps through a standard CCS cable, allows rapid recharging in record time. Engineered alongside the vehicle itself, the charging system underscores Mercedes-Benz’s integrated approach to developing next-generation electric mobility.
Inside, the Concept AMG® GT XX pairs futuristic design with tailored comfort. Its 3D-printed ergonomic seat pads, based on individual body scans, offer unmatched customization for every driver. Upholstered in LABFIBER Biotech Leather Alternative, these seats fuse sustainability with racing-grade comfort. A new UI/UX system delivers performance data through a purpose-built display, while the ThrillAR mixed-reality experience (developed for Apple Vision Pro) lets users virtually relive the Concept AMG® GT XX’s record-setting run at Nardò.
With over 25 endurance records and more than 24,000 miles covered in under eight days, the Concept AMG® GT XX proves that electric vehicles can perform beyond expectations. Every aspect, from its cooling innovations to its intelligent performance software, reflects Mercedes-AMG’s heritage of pushing boundaries.
