Spy photographers have already captured the next Mercedes-AMG GT 4 doors Electric vehicle (name unconfirmed) that was performing its task outdoors and, as you might expect, the tester was wrapped in thick camouflage and fitted with a fake plastic covering.
However, under the camouflage, it appears to have swept-back headlights that should flank a Panamericana-style grille. However, since the new GT 4-Door does not have an internal combustion engine at the back, this component will be completely enclosed.
The flush-mounted door handles are also on the bridge, giving the profile a sleeker look. And speaking of the sides, it also has a sloping roofline. The muscular shoulders were also visible, and you might want to ignore those weird taillights, as they are temporary. The same goes for the oddly shaped rear bumper and diffuser combination.

As a note to myself and those who haven’t seen the spy shots yet, the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door EV appears to be a four-door sedan rather than a five-door liftback. Under the skin is the AMG.EA (AMG Electric Architecture), a build dedicated to completely silent models, as the name suggests. This model is believed to be the first of its kind to use this platform, although others will follow in its footsteps as the three-pointed star brand ventures further into the EV game.
It is expected to feature a high-performance battery pack, axial flux motor technology, and a rear-axle steering system, with the latter being spotted by our spy photographers while testing the car. Curious to see what this model looks like under all that fake camouflage? Us too, and apparently we’ll have to wait a while before we see this vehicle in all its glory. Reports say it could be due next year, so it’s likely to launch as a 2026 model.
As testing progresses, we’ll see more production-ready prototypes, some of which will have significantly less camouflage on their bodies and actual taillights, bumpers, and so on. That’s when the rendering crowd can start peeling back the fake skin and revealing what it’ll look like. Until then, we’re left with early spy shots of the vehicle from this month (August 2024) and the occasional unrealistic digital illustration.
Speaking of the latter, the model pictured is the work of Q Cars and, as you can clearly see, it doesn't look anything like the real thing. We think it's pretty ugly, especially for a Mercedes, and we'd take the Porsche Taycan in a heartbeat if we had to choose between the two. But do you like it?
