Mercedes-Benz is preparing to launch a striking, AMG-designed version of its new all-electric GLC SUV next year. This new model will be the third most powerful vehicle in the brand's history and also the most powerful AMG SUV ever. With over twice the horsepower of the standard model, the AMG GLC aims to make a significant difference in the electric performance SUV segment.
The Foundation of High Performance: AMG.EA Architecture and Three Engines
While the new AMG GLC comes from the same family as the standard electric GLC, which was introduced last September, its technical underpinnings are completely different. This high-performance model is based on the 1341-horsepower GT XX prototype, previously showcased. AMG.EA powertrain architecture It is based on.
Under the hood of the SUV, there are a total of 125 three axial flux motors Thanks to this powerful engine layout, total power, Over 900 horsepower This output is approximately double the standard model's 489 horsepower. With this power level, the AMG GLC is a serious competitor to the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo, which produces close to 980 horsepower. AMG has announced a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration for this vehicle. under three seconds and electronically limits the maximum speed to 250 km/h.
New Battery Technology and Charging Speed
The key to high power output comes from AMG's next-generation battery technology. Instead of prismatic cells in the standard GLC EQ, cylindrical cells AMG states that it has achieved higher power density and better thermal management by switching to this technology.
Used in the model 800V architecture The battery, equipped with an advanced cooling circuit that directly surrounds each cell, is kept at the ideal temperature. This thermal system is critical for consistently providing the high discharge performance required by the three motors. Furthermore, the vehicle offers a 70 kW increase in power compared to the standard model. Fast charging support up to 400 kW To enrich the driving experience, as in the Ioniq 5 N simulated gear changes and an artificial sound generator close to the V8 engine sound has also been added.
