Mercedes-AMG Just Did the Impossible — and the Waiting List Is Already Out of Control
Orders opened on May 27, 2026. The 2026 slots are already gone. New buyers won't see their car until 2027 — and that says everything about electric AMG demand.
Looks like Mercedes-AMG hit the bullseye. The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé launched with so much demand that production slots in Sindelfingen for 2026 are already gone — and orders only opened on May 27, 2026. Thinking about placing an order now? Get comfortable: deliveries won’t start before the first quarter of 2027.
Mercedes won’t disclose the exact quota, so talk of absolute records is premature. But the speed at which the slots vanished says plenty: AMG buyers weren’t scared off by the switch to electric. And that, frankly, is the real headline. The new GT 4-Door rides on the AMG.EA platform — the brand’s first dedicated electric architecture — and fully replaces the old four-door ICE sports car.
Two versions kick things off — and both are seriously menacing. The AMG GT 55 4MATIC+ delivers 600 kW, or 816 hp. The AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ goes further: 860 kW, or 1,169 hp. Mercedes calls it the most powerful road-going AMG ever built. Both run three axial-flux electric motors and all-wheel drive. The 800-volt architecture supports charging at up to 600 kW, and WLTP range is rated at up to 700 km. The GT 63 hits 100 km/h in just 2.1 seconds. For a four-door sedan — that’s borderline indecent.
Mercedes-Benz also recently began production of the all-electric VLE at its Vitoria plant in Spain.
