Mercedes is intensifying its electrification efforts in the performance segment with AMG-branded versions of the EQS and the EQE sedans. At the same time, it\u2019s investing in powerful plug-in hybrids as demonstrated by the GT 63 S E Performance<\/a> and the AMG One hypercar arriving in 2022. The former has a whopping 831 horsepower on tap while the latter is expected to offer more than 1,000 hp.<\/p>\n A new report from Auto Bild<\/em> claims another member of the AMG family will be electrified, namely the second generation of the GT Coupe. Based on the recently unveiled SL roadster, the Porsche 911 rival from Affalterbach is believed to borrow styling cues from the AMG One and merge them with the hardware of the GT 63 S E Performance to create an impressively powerful and fast coupe.<\/p>\n While the regular versions of the GT Coupe are expected to mirror the SL 55 and SL 63 soft-top convertibles with their V8 engines, the PHEV is said to sit on top of the lineup with more than 800 hp. It too will have a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo gasoline mill, but it’ll work together with a rear-mounted electric motor as well as a battery pack.<\/p>\n
