On the AMG.EA platform
The Mercedes-Benz company is preparing a unique Mercedes-AMG crossover, which will be created by this division and will not be based on any of the existing Mercedes-Benz cars.
This will be an electric crossover, which will initially be created as a car without an internal combustion engine. It will supposedly be positioned as a successor to the current Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 model.
It is reported that the length of the model is similar to the Vision AMG concept (about 5100 mm) with a wheelbase of more than 3000 mm. Among the key features of the new model — 800V electrical architecture, patented axial flux motors and a specially designed version of the MB.OS operating system. This will be the second production model on the AMG.EA platform, and it will be presented next year.
The AMG.EA architecture was originally conceived to accommodate Yasa electric motors, which provide significantly higher power and torque density than the more traditional synchronous electric motors used in existing Mercedes-Benz engines.
This engine weighs only 24 kg and develops 480 hp. and 590 Nm of torque. Given that the company’s new product can be configured with two, three or even four electric motors, the total power may well exceed 1000 hp.
Inside, the car will use a new interior architecture with some unique dashboard display. What will be its uniqueness is unknown.
