In just three days, Mercedes-AMG pulls the cover off the most controversial SUV it has ever built — a reported 1,150+ horsepower all-electric monster with savage acceleration and a fake V8 soundtrack. Here is everything we know before the October 17 world debut, separated carefully into confirmed facts and reported rumors, because the internet is crediting this SUV with horsepower numbers that actually belong to another car.
The AMG GT SUV (codename X591) is the first SUV developed entirely by AMG on its dedicated AMG.EA electric platform. We break down the tri-motor flagship (~1,153 hp, 0-60 in ~2.5 seconds), the 106 kWh battery with 600 kW charging, the MB.OS tech cabin, the controversial AMG Force S+ fake V8 sound, pricing rumors, and how it stacks up against the Porsche Cayenne Electric, Lucid Gravity GTS, Lotus Eletre, and Tesla Model X Plaid — all ahead of the October 17 reveal at The 140 Festival in Stuttgart.
