"The prototype was driven around Las Vegas by Mercedes F1 driver George Russell, who called it "the most insane car" he had ever experienced. Mercedes-AMG hopes to dominate the sporty four-door segment with an upcoming bespoke model, the first in AMG's history. The Porsche Taycan rival has now started shedding camouflage, revealing its production body and giving us our best look at the car ahead of its official reveal sometime in 2026."
"The car seems to have evolved since I was a passenger in a prototype earlier this year, when I experienced its pretend V8 engine complete with gear shifts. That was one of the most unique experiences I've ever had in a car, and I'm pretty sure the faux eight-cylinder was part of the reason why Russell thought this prototype was a bit nuts. The other reason is likely how quick it is, thanks to its three-motor configuration that gives it all-wheel drive and a combined output of 1,341 horsepower or more, at least in concept form."
Mercedes-AMG's C590 prototype appeared around the Las Vegas Formula 1 race with reduced camouflage, revealing the production body and clearer styling cues. Mercedes F1 driver George Russell drove the prototype and called it one of the most insane cars he had ever driven. The model is positioned as an all-electric grand tourer and Porsche Taycan rival, expected to adopt the AMG GT name and debut as AMG's first bespoke four-door. Visual inspection shows little padding under the camo, with some masking under the hood and grille and placeholder taillights at the rear. Earlier prototypes simulated a V8 with gear shifts to create a faux eight-cylinder experience. A three-motor AWD layout promises a combined output around 1,341 horsepower in concept form, though final output may change before a planned 2026 reveal.
