AMG EQE SUV end of lease

My 3 year experiment with an SUV is coming to a close. I just ordered a 2027 AMG GT 55 4dr coupe EV. Delivery will be around the middle of October at which time I'll hand my vehicle back to the dealer. All new charging technology and new design electric motors (2 rear. 1 front).

Yes, the same. I will have one of the first in the US. The car is being bulit in Sindelfingen. The color is Obsidian Black. I've no idea concerning the delivered price, but I'm estimating to be around $175000

Congrats again, do let us know if there are any updates, perhaps share you build as well and you can send us pictures of how it looks like on the configurator when that is out if you want.

Here's the configured car. The interior color is Caramel. The Netstar configurator has an incorrect description.

Sounds like an exciting spec, the configurator is out (other than the pricing part), feel free to build one and share pictures in your thread: https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/build/gt/coupe/gt55c4

That's certainly a long list of extras! But I guess $7.8 mil. should just about cover it ;-)

Most of the items are standard equipment. The additional customization is around $28000. I believe that the base price will be about $130,000. The 0-60 time is 2.4 secs!

The coolest thing about the car is the new EV platform of 800V. 200 mile charge in 11 minutes. Oil cooled battery, axial motors.

Cool beans, good info to know, do they have charging stations that can provide those speeds in your state?

No. The charging rate quoted is for the current high capacity DC chargers. There are 600v chargers in Germany.

That's really the way to go with electric vehicles and one of the benefits of electric vehicles, being able to charge at home.
