That’s exactly what this rendering from Autofans
depicts; a Mercedes-AMG EQ GT, based around the AMG GT. Mercedes has experience with
electric sports cars, launching the SLS Electric Drive a few years ago. While
that vehicle didn’t prove very popular, Mercedes-AMG chief executive Tobias
Moers recently revealed that he is open to the idea of another EV of this sort.
The following AMG EQ GT rendering depicts a vehicle
largely identical to the ICE-powered AMG GT but with a few styling and
aerodynamic tweaks that give away its true identity. Among the alterations made
is the fitment of a faux plastic grille and the removal of the front air
intakes of the regular AMG GT. Additionally, a set of wheels very similar to
those of the new EQC 400 have been fitted.
If Mercedes-AMG does actually produce a successor to
the SLS Electric Drive, it would likely be significantly cheaper thanks to the
advancement of battery and electric motor technology. The vehicle would also
inevitably offer a better range as well as improved performance.
