The drivetrain of the Vision AMG has been developed from scratch. The AMG.EA platform comes with a high-performance high-voltage battery and a revolutionary drive technology, says Mercedes-AMG.

The CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH Philipp Schiemer shares that AMG is in the process of reinventing itself. “The course has been well and truly set for an electrified future, and we’ve set the bar high. That’s because our customers expect something very special from all-electric cars. We have already well and truly proven our expertise in this regard with the SLS AMG Electric Drive, our own E PERFORMANCE hybrid technology and the first Mercedes-EQ derivatives. With this study, we are now offering a first glimpse of how we are transferring the AMG DNA into the all‑electric future, starting in 2025," adds Schiemer.
