With the exception of some insane EVs like the Tesla Model S Plaid/Plaid+ and Lucid Air, the Mercedes-AMG GT 73e 4-Door is shaping up to be one of the fastest and most powerful sedans on the market. While Mercedes-AMG is keeping some cards close to its chest regarding just how much performance the GT 73e 4-Door will provide, it recently confirmed that its future flagship high-performance hybrid models will feature a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter AMG Performance Hybrid that includes a rear-mounted electric motor with up to 201 hp and 320 Nm of torque.
All up, certain hybrid AMG models will
pump out as much as 805 hp and 1,000 Nm and we expect to see the GT
73e 4-Door hit the market with those insane figures. When combined with an
all-wheel drive system, the sedan should be able to hit 100 km/h in
less than three seconds. As the German car manufacturer readies the car for
production, it recently took an almost undisguised prototype to the Nurburgring
for testing. The sedan looks extremely fast around the treacherous circuit with
the driver seen clipping the apexes perfectly and running the car out onto the
curbs in the pursuit of maximum speed.
Last year, Mercedes-AMG lapped the
Nurburgring in 7:27.800, making it the fastest luxury four-door to ever lap the
circuit. However, thanks to almost 200 hp in addition grunt, the GT 73e has the
potential to be even quicker and could eclipse the outright sedan lap record
held by a Jaguar XE Project 8 at 7:18.361.
