Mercedes-AMG’s all-electric GT 4-Door Coupé will arrive in UAE showrooms in January 2027, with the GT 53 at an indicative $110,000.
That price is indicative: Michael Stroband, Mercedes-Benz’s Regional President and CEO, quoted about $110,000 for the GT 53, $133,000 for the GT 55 and $166,000 for the GT 63. The figures are before options and depend on GCC specification. A full UAE price list hasn’t been published, and no AED price has been given.
According to Khaleej Times, the UAE will be among the first markets in the Middle East to receive the car. Mercedes revealed it globally in May 2026, with German prices starting at €154,700 for the GT 55 and €196,350 for the GT 63.
Three versions, up to 1,169hp
According to Khaleej Times, the car is offered in three versions: the GT 53, GT 55 and GT 63. The figures below are the manufacturer’s, from Mercedes-AMG’s GT 4-Door Coupé page.
| Version | Motors and output | Claimed 0-100 km/h | WLTP range |
|---|---|---|---|
| GT 53 | Two synchronous motors, up to 400 kW (544 hp) | Not given | Up to 809 km |
| GT 55 | Three axial-flux motors, 600 kW (816 hp) | Not given | 700 km |
| GT 63 | Three axial-flux motors, 860 kW (1,169 hp) | 2.1 s | 696 km |
The GT 63 also claims 0-200 km/h in 6.4 seconds, and a 300 km/h top speed with the optional Driver’s Package. Mercedes says it’s the first series-production electric car to use axial-flux motors, which pack high power into a more compact package. The battery cells have a cooling system that Mercedes says is inspired by Formula One technology, built to sustain performance under hard driving.
Making an EV feel like a V8
The gear changes are simulated, but passengers feel them through the seats. In the GT 55 and GT 63, the AMGFORCE S+ sound system uses the sound of an AMG V8 engine from the GT R as its reference.
I never experienced such a mixture, the best out of both worlds. I never experienced that speed combined with an emotion that so far I experienced only in V8 cars.

Stroband also said, “It’s an immersive experience. So it’s not only the sound. You’re feeling like you’re shifting gears.” The Khaleej Times reporter, at a regional launch, described the acceleration as instant, like the first steep drop on a roller coaster, with no cue before it.
Stroband acknowledged the electric performance car remains a niche segment. He said some customers are sceptical, but early reactions have been encouraging, and some cars were already sold at launch events in other markets.
People love it from the outside but are skeptical, saying, okay, another supercar, an EV, I’m normally a petrolhead… But it’s always about test-driving it and the experience once you have driven it.

Charging in the UAE
The car uses 800-volt technology and charges at up to 600 kW. Mercedes claims it can add around 460 km of range in 10 minutes under suitable conditions, and charge from 10 to 80% in 11 minutes.
For buyers worried about charging access, Stroband said Mercedes is working with local partners, including charging providers, and pointed to planned charging expansion in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Villa owners could install wallboxes and charge overnight. Our interview with Lexus’ Jacques Brent covers charging access and the daily commute.

It’s unclear whether test drives are open yet.
