Ahead of its May 19 world premiere, the new electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé underwent testing with Doriane Pin, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Development Driver and F1 Academy 2025 Champion.
The latest YouTube episode shows Pin evaluating the performance-focused model, joined by Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius.
The episode, shot on the test track and behind the scenes, offers an exclusive first look at the still-camouflaged Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé.
The central question: does the car earn Pin’s racing-driver approval based on her experience at the highest levels of international motorsport and development for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team? Källenius accompanies Pin in the passenger seat, experiencing the car while explaining the thinking behind its development.
AMG.EA Architecture and New Motor Technology
The test begins in the driving simulator, where Källenius outlines the engineering concept of the car built on the new AMG.EA architecture. This includes the introduction of axial flux motor technology, which marks a major step in AMG’s electrified performance.
From simulation to reality, the evaluation moves to the track, focusing on agility, control and repeatable performance under real-world conditions.
Driver-Focused Technologies Enable Real-Time Adjustments
Throughout the challenges, the interaction between driver and vehicle takes center stage. Technologies such as the AMG RACE ENGINEER Control Unit—including agility and traction control settings—enable immediate, tangible adjustments, reinforcing the car’s driver-focused character and its commitment to controllable performance.
