CONCEPT AMG GT XX: Recordbreaking innovations for relentless
performance
The CONCEPT AMG GT XX captured
global attention when it covered
40,075 kilometers on the legendary Nardò
test track in less than eight days – setting
a total of 25 long-distance records with
an impressive margin during this journey
"around the world in eight days". Under
extreme test conditions, the technology
pioneer demonstrated its superior
endurance, continuing Mercedes-AMG’s
long tradition of record-breaking
achievements. The performance brand from
Affalterbach pushed the limits with two
vehicles sprinting lap after lap, breaking
record after record, at a running speed of
300 km/h – for 7 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes
and 07 seconds.
Among the records is the one for the
longest distance ever covered by an electric
vehicle in 24 hours. But in this extreme
endurance test, the previous benchmark
wasn’t just broken once – it was shattered
fourteen times: Mercedes-AMG fielded
20
two CONCEPT AMG GT XX in the Nardò
challenge. Both vehicles exceeded the
previous record in every single 24-hour
window by an overwhelming margin.
This ultimate stress test was only possible
thanks to the unmatched endurance
capability of its revolutionary drivetrain.
The CONCEPT AMG GT XX is powered
by three axial flux motors and a directcooled battery – technologies that will enter
production next year in the upcoming highperformance architecture AMG.EA.
A host of additional, partially productionready innovations also played a key role
in this extreme test. Among them: an
integrated cooling concept, sophisticated
aerodynamics, and an intelligent operating
strategy.
Moreover, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX also
introduces a range of innovations in both its
exterior and interior. Highlights include an
augmented reality racing helmet, ergonomic
3D seat pads, and novel biotechnology-
