The CONCEPT AMG GT XX captured global attention when it covered 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles) 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.”
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 direct-cooled battery – technologies that will enter production next year in the upcoming new high-performance AMG.EA architecture.
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 (186 mph) – for 7 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes and 07 seconds.
